Confession to My Online Love
I can no longer write erotic poems—
they only turn out lechery, as in
my dreams I stroke your hair,
run through the comb of fingers
that one part of you I would dare touch.
The next day, in a day's weak light
no longer dreamt, in wakefulness,
I find your dreamt-of thick red strands
caught in an unfamiliar brush
set very near near my bathroom sink. It's when
I stroke its bristles like your hair
that I know this poem should end: Enough.
