Poem #319 for Lorraine Trovato-Cantori

 

What is it you really want?

You are at an age far beyond me
unattached for stubborn reasons of your own
as I am
because you crave your independence

You say you want someone to share life with
who respects you and loves you
and you need distance solitude and freedom

Above all, you are proud of your sexual prowess
get satisfied and move on
all not too different than what I ask of you

So, if we are the same
and I just happen to say
bluntly
what’s your goal, want, desire,
avoiding your hoops and charges,
take no offense toward me for honesty

afterall
the truth will set you free
