A. S. II

We walked out of Union
Square Park where we had

solidified our Us from a
muck to a mold, am ambivalence

thick with question to a concrete
asserted; irrational, selfish, temeritous.

Swooning smoothing soothing wooing
glances and gapes mouths moist ahhing

in bedsheet laughter in coy epigrams
in kisses more delicate than those I gave

my first love. But this is lust.
"I'm so wet" she wrote a block away

cabbed. I read it there aired and
smiled confidence, anticipation

from her subtley stroked pubis stoked
by my backhand while waiting.

And I too rode home saturated in this
present that decision her Her.

Pleated once with hesitation and now
a girl unfurled in a Haley decision

that will work our nerves and needs
overtime with our greatest will.
