Such a bastard

there's whimpering in the air and
the scent of spring lays in the ashes of
cigarettes smoked after mad fucking and
delirious melodrama and words spoken
needlessly,

"did you cum?"

yeah, I came, but the flare wasn't a cloud
burst or pyro's fire display, but yeah, I came

there are birds sitting in a tree and dropping
shit onto the tables of frozen chess players
and sidewalk prophets outside predicting doom,
,

through frosted window panes, tangled in
sheets months from the washer she cocks
her head and exhales the smoke like mist
on a moor,

"I feel like a whore, sometimes."

'just sometimes?" I ask.

pulling my boxers from the crack of my ass
and drinking from a can of stale beer I laugh
she throws a pillow then flicks her cigarette at me,

"you're such a bastard--"all the time."
