Another…

Hola Everybody,
Going to an interview… wish me luck.

Now [no. 24]

Please know that one day
you will slip from under these covers
to trace with cool fingertips
your affection
on the neck of a new man.

Another.

It is certain enough
not to need conjuring before its time.

But when you close my door,
close it gently if you can,
and take this to his waiting skin:

I will always be with you,
always your champion.
I will be that cool breeze
on your naked back,
cheering you on,
asking only that
you love loving him,

that another.
