Our lustful need for one another
Turned combustible
And she had teenage kids awake at her place
Mine was thirty miles away.
She led me to a grassy, well kept graveyard
Where the night was still as death
I asked, "Aren't you afraid here?"
"It's the safest place in town," she said.
We made love on a marble slab at midnight
Undisturbed beneath a sickle moon
But I did not go back with her again
Into that quiet place
For reasons still uncertain.
