Recent Memory

Like sex when it's making love
Like sex when it's fucking
and the hour is midnight and you can hear
jazz on the radio all the way from Chicago
Like biting into an apple from the tree
of knowledge and lust
and finding it sour
but eating it anyway
Like your breath on the back of my neck
slow and even and perfect as you sleep
Like the soft sound of running water
in the bathroom
afterward
and the thin strip of light
under the door
Like going outside and smoking a cigarette
as it rains for the first time
in recent memory
