New man, new smell

I slept with a new man
just yesterday.
No.
I fucked a new man
just yesterday.
I was barely able to sleep
next to him
as always
with most men.

It always catches me
by surprise
when I drift off
next to another
sleeping body.
It doesn't happen often
and you see
it is the preciousness
of those rare things
that turn them
into glorified
trap-holes.

I felt his smell linger
on my skin
no matter how thoroughly
I washed
after.
It made my nose wrinkle
in disdain.
I dislike
the men of convenience
taking more space
than they're
allowed.

  1. That is sad. Despite my love for Billie I can still feel the pleasure of sleeping next to someone new if I am into that person. Things have not worked out well in those regards yet.

  2. Loved the poem. Glad I accidently tumbled on it.

    Can't really sleep on the same bed with someone else either.
