Affairs Are for Squares

Platonic affair:
two cups Earl Grey, one lipsticked;
tea left unfinished.

To metamorphose
into origami swans--
slacks, her cotton dress.

With matched underslept
eyes and lips an inch apart,
they are still Virgin

to each other.

What does this mean to you?

    welcome to all poetry

    I love the title for this piece. I find almost a mental affair that they haven't taken physical. I like your word choices very much, love the ending lines.

      Thank you! And yes--I wanted it to be a mental/spiritual affair rather than a physical one. I'm glad that comes across.
