You stand in my shower
and it is the most intimate thing
any man has ever done with me
more, even, than the hotel
where I let an older man
take my virginity
because he said he loved me
I didn't love him but I pretended
because it felt expected because
something belonging to me
was a heady temptation
but he was never mine
You stand in my shower
and I suddenly feel
like we both belong here
in this room I rent in this
house that isn't mine
in this bathroom down...
