Protecting Identity

Careful touches
So we don’t break
Fevers burning
Sheets twisting
Toes curled
And I’ve decided
I’m never going home

Cautious sessions
In darkened doorways
Parked cars
In farmers fields
Parking lots
And always home
Before the sun came up

Mother you
Cover you
Hold me
Kiss me
Kiss and don’t tell
It’s all secrets
And lies
It’s all touches
And
Twisting
Sessions

Finish up
And save it up
I’ll see you next weekend
At the Charley
I’ll be the girl
With the wink
And the smile
