I Walked By Your House Today

I walked by your house today
In the early midnight blue,
Remembering how we used to be
And how it felt to be with you,
And so I took a little detour
Down your lane and to the back.
I peeked into your window there
And saw you sleeping so relaxed.
I tried the door and it was open,
So I stood there in your room,
Walked then over to be so near you,
Could smell the musk and faint cologne.
I leaned to kiss your drowsing lips.
I lay my body over yours—
Embraced your heart, and squeezed your shoulders,
Rubbing my breasts on your solid torso.
Then I tiptoed from your cabin,
Made my way at the break of dawn.
Hearing the coyotes dying howls,
I thought I heard your mother say,
"Someone just walked across my grave."
