After Twenty-One Love Poems [Poem II] by Adrienne Rich
Jun-Jun: “You’ve kissed my hair
to wake me.”
Quisty: “Dream
no more. I’m here.”
JJ: “Did you just scream
from love or fear?”
Q: “Didn’t mean to scare
you when I came.”
JJ: “One hot tamale!
It’s no great shame,
your grand finale.”
Q: “You were a poem
in my chasm.
Rhythm and flair.”
