Let the gray miles
unfold like lies; hard at first
work the stiffness out
one leg at a time
Your new lover dreams uneasily
sleeping off the sweat
dull streets slumber as you slice
through them
we leaves gossip at,
they gossip of your passage
On the bedside table
his wallet, two watches, flat wine
Soft shoes pummel the glistening pavement
sentinel dogs voice the intrusion
their discomfort ignored like my calls
On the floor
fallen silk
casual as napping cats
Stay within the limits
never extending yourself
turn down
head for the confessional of the shower
He turns over
thighs, stomach
tight from your victory
