observation heartache

hold me against the sweetness
of your breast and whisper your
forgiveness promise me honey
moons in tropical locales and
take me to Houston when you leave

love me with the secrets and broken
lives of schoolgirls caught writing
****************He does not care about me
1000 times on the notebooks of God our

bodies tuned to the impulse of pregnancy
and backstreet impromptu posturing the
candor of life like What should I do? from
parents and babies without daddies
