The Greatest of Agreements




I wore those clothes all day that day

of the morning I returned.

I walked down the sidewalk

flaunting my sloppy attire

like a proud sex warrior.

It was movie-esque: that time

the way the moon mixed with the streetlamps

and cast shadows through your apartment window on our skin;

the heat of that late-spring night

awake until dawn,

cries of coerced pleasure floating in the stagnant air,

with cigarettes left to smoke

uncaring, and naked

in all senses of the word.

The greatest of agreements

the honesty unprecedented,

the sweaty sheets beneath me

and the fitfull

beautiful something

of sleeping

with you.
