I can still feel
your taut warm skin
on my hands
my arms
my breasts
we lived in a world that
embraced our nakedness
So you climbed into the back seat of the car
to be close to me
to recline on my chest
and to turn your eyes toward a shared interest
But then they came
to break up our love
and shame you for a less-than-spotless past
I knew the ending of the tragedy
yet took your nephew to play on the swings
and the alarm stole me away
