The Tryst Of Two Survivors Poem by RIC BASTASA

you're wearing glasses
and drive your car

there is this address
that makes you thirsty

a door opens and you
disrobe all your fears

someone waits in bed
and there will be no more words

you remove your glasses
and take out everything you have

you see what you are
and you know you shall cry

but for now you set restraint aside
you need this in order to live

one day more
soon you will be devastated

who cares? you tell yourself
you take the bite to give

your heart a mouthful
of lust of love or whatever
