I never understood
unrequited love--
          when someone didn't doesn't love me
          I am nourished by my love for them.
loving is enough.

until I met him--
          I gave him a
          new name
          so i could speak freely:
Seth. easy to say and smooth
and vulgar--keeping my tongue at the
front of my mouth between my teeth
so it's always close (but not too obvious!)
to his skin. Dear god,
i do all the work but i could use
the exercise.
