How Can I Fake Some Feelings? Poem by RIC BASTASA

when you fake your orgasm
i know it
by heart, there is no moisture
in my thoughts,
dry
as a desert i walk like a bedouin
without a song
my camel looking for some
water in the oasis
mirage,

we too are mutual
in this faking game
i do not even have to fake
my feelings
loving you

it is the bulb in my head
above the bed
where we make love
in an intertwine
when the light clicks
see another face

forgive me
i have had your fake orgasms
multiple in fact
but i really do not mind
faking my feelings

they are not there anymore
i do not have them
they have long been buried
in the marrow of my
bones
the red blood there
long dried

i do not even remember
where and when
