Act XX(X): The Love Nest Monster

By Partners in Rhyme

I return,

harrowed and haunted

by my memories

which flash

before my eyes

like flashlights

flash

like lightning

flash

like a woman's bosoms on Mardi Gras

I wander.

Not all who wander are lost

but I am!

Lost

in our love, a haze

in our love, ablaze

in a maze of distant days

the bed where we made love!

the couch where we made love!

the sink where we made love!

We made love

like two doves in the night

flapping their wings like

their hearts depended on it

we made love like like like like

like a tornado!

like an earthquake!

like something equally disastrous
but still sexy

we made love like fire ants

our love was a conflagration

and you were the arsonist

we made love like this:

Here's the room

where i first said i love you

and here is the room

where you first said you love me

and there is the room

where you made love with him

and this, this is the house of lies.

Maria

you have made this casa

a casa de pena

and in it i am a ghost

with an invisible heart

wondering

how can you break something

that you can't even see?

End.
