I wrote this during the summer during this class on poetry I was taking. I think it was supposed to be a story poem or something. My dad completely missed the point and thought it was very dirty. It is not dirty.

Do you think

She stretches her arms across his chest

Do you think they know? About us?

She lays back, drunk on love, freedom, autonomy

Small fingers on a dirty shaft, she drives it down and down

Honey, she says, You're staining the sheets

She rises and washes her scarlet-stained hands in the shit-stained hotel sink

From the bathroom, I love you, dear

He is silent; he loves her too

As blood drips onto the thin, cardboard carpet
