Paulos Silentiarus
I watched them
sucking face
for an eternity -
as if they longed
to climb into each other’s hearts.
They shucked off their clothes,
and put each other’s on.
Him in her flirty dress,
her in his jeans and leather jacket.
And then they went back to it
as if they hadn’t eaten for a week.
You couldn’t have parted them
without assistance from the Fire Brigade.
You and I were like that
once.
