you are the one
who has made it so
i let go
of the other
lovers
you are the one to whom
i would surrender my armies
you are the reason i no longer fret over staining sheets with blood or wine
you are the voodoo fire to which
i spread my legs
you almost make me forgive the white man for his little invading colonies
you are the man who speaks italian to me as you push yourself inside
inamorata fave te allodo
you are the reason to buy new panties
and why
i can’t keep my hands
out of them
