You can't control who wants you
any more than I
can unmake desirable to rooster every hen
love me
what's the use
in trying to forget the truth
or say it ain't so?
you know you do
so say you will
love me forever
what's clear to me
what sets me free
is not to have to say 'I do'
not one more season,
if consummation ekes out in camouflage
your well-earned revenge,
of departure from viridian-
