"You are a dead man, but I will not put you to death at this time, because you carried the Ark of my Lord God before my father David..."
- Kings I, 2:26
You crawled into that box,
three boxes, really,
gold,
wood,
gold,
and said
from the other edge of the bed
you hated your body
for what it could do.
(I had noticed you wore
turtlenecks and trench coats.)
When you crawled back out
I saw you were right.
Sex was a master
from Gei-bin-hinnam
and love was a slave
from New Jersey.
and you thought
I would tell you which one
was sat there
between the two of us?
