I spoke to The Master late
last night, she told me a story
of Pittsburgh;
the strange dark that fell
covering, the next scene after
Adam and Eve. There are birds
in these hills, ready
to flee the cold of October.
I wanted to kiss her, crawling
through cracks below
the open window, through the first time
we met. “Anyway
there is an equation of dancing and sex”
“Ever since I can remember,”
was my reply.
