it has been almost a year
since she fell in
love with a married man
, that moment in the Sun
light pouring in her bank of Windows
onto a bed where two
sweaty bodies
engaged in making
love
not love not yet
just lust she could
not resist or contain
she had to know the universe might implode
and did not, not yet
having learned the fundamental lesson
about married men
they always go home
to their wives
rarely even spending the night
so that the sheets
drenched
in semen and sweat
grow cold and lonely
a sad lesson she's
likely
learned the hard way
still lusting after him
though for more than
just a chance to make love
all of it going south
within months
when she realized side chicks
never win a man's
heart
and always end up alone
the warm bed gone cold
before midnight
