Vows on restless
lips cause calm
she’s the only
one I’ve got
to lose control
within sheets
made of satin
sent by her
mother last Christmas.
If Mommy only
knew it was
her and me,
sexing with candles
on a tabletop
over unpaid bills
with her good,
isolated, Christian daughter
wed to love
last Wednesday
to a suitor like me
another present,
she’d never send.
