defined as

I hate to argue

syntax

but meaning is so crucial

isn't it

Deliberate movements

of the mouth

in a private room

clothes thrown

everywhere

or in a darker restaurant

where I can watch you

undressing me with your eyes

watch you swallow hard

and pause

before you tell me 

it's really good

that I can choke you

two thousand dinners like that

I could have in a year 

on tour

one time I wanted dessert

I would walk by you now

like a stranger

you

who's aches I massaged

and who dug her way inside me

just to leave out the back

while the front was still open

and the cold win was blowing through
