do they replenish you as they do me?
with clean sheets, fresh mints
and a re-fluffing of pillows
the indent still visible
and tear stains
yes, the tears-
those were there
from all flirtations
before i stayed
the tiny rosebud print
fading into polka dots
when making love
closed my eyes
and you
sitting flatly
the scored table
from angry, bitter pens
scarring the words
wound-like on white
now my turn to write
because of Plath
we have micro-waves
because of love
we have dear john
and hate

almost ranks with Jeanette Winterson's Why is the measure of love loss? as an epigram. No, it's there alongside it.
