mine.
Still, just in
case, I
never dared
mention
sex,
interrupted
by periods;
Lince;
interrupted by
drugs;
or my own
infatuation with
the monster’s
spectacular
roc
k and roll.

secrets
belonged strictly
in my own
private closet.

Leigh climbed into my bed,
moved very close to me,
her proximity strangely
unsettling.
Want to talk? I do.
I miss how we used to talk.
