The Last Time
Would this be the last time
In the midst of sex, no, really love
That makes the ground break
I wondered
What if this was the last time
I’d already learned you never know when
Everything could be slashed away
That one day we’d muse
How did we fit together
That when the phone vibrates
That anticipation and excitement
of seeing your number flash
Has vanished
Words like go
This is it
Enough
It’s over
Said at the right time
Is enough to set in motion
The end with no potion for reversal
Even if you’ve said them
Many times before
That finally it’s time
And in the midst of
This delirious experience
Think ying yang twins
And Do Me Baby by Prince
Pure liquid excruciating joy
Tethered between bed and sky
I find myself
Idly wondering
When was the last time
I was with you
You
Stubborn, infuriating, loud
Loyal, scared, dedicated
Wrecked
There when no one else is ever was
And though I’m fully present
In this moment
Also I’m wondering
When was the last second
That you and I
Had a chance
