Interrupted love

 

I am entirely unprotected

 

You are moving above me

in a form of congress

 

and I am thinking that the dream

of someday having a child with you

was born in the town Cervantes called home

 

that you will never

leave your wife

 

And this flat we have used

for our little meetings

is suddenly sordid

 

and you are really

as a lover

not very communicative

 

Even this meeting

wasn’t planned

to end in sex

 

and it is the wrong

time of month

 

and now

you eject

a strangled cry

as if unwilling

 

to let your pleasure

be known

 

and I shout what

have you done

 

and you slowly

turn to me

 

surprised I have a voice

and say

 

Sorry

I was thinking

of other things.
