Questions that must be asked

How long could you sit naked before you felt naked?
After your nipples have hardened from the cold,
and your ankle is snagged on a rusty nail.
Or was it the ringing of the telephone that exposed you?

How far would I go. How long would you stalk her
(the trail of your hatred scattered like confetti)
Shivering shuddering nauseous
You can't have forgotten that the winter is really here.

When does the ghost of a tee shirt leave you?
How do you make it stay?

I lost your musk to mothballs and rat droppings.


The bottom of my cupboard is now well ordered

Clinically clean and empty.

Most importantly, though:
Where would you hide from the cookie monster?
