- I heard you talking
- just the other day.
-
- You talked like Aphrodite,
- that damned goddess of old,
- You were talking in her ear
- and it made me feel so cold...
-
- I would give you all the attention,
- perhaps more then you could hold,
- I'd put my heart on the block,
- and not expect a 'thunk'.
-
- Do you hurt me on purpose?
- Did those before?
- I'm not an artist,
- but I've a bleeding heart...
-
- When you are not about
- I curse the ground you tread.
- When you are around me
- I wish for ground beneath my feet.
-
- But you are a woman,
- and that explains all...
