SUSANNE LUTHERBORROW



I Love You

she contemplated
toyingly
the idea of it
on the tip of her tongue
rolled it back
swallowed
but it regurgitated

too soon?
too silly?
too old-hat?

then
just like that
in a moment of semi-consciousness
after they fucked
very passionate
she heard her voice ejaculate
loud
clear
precise
the air around the bed crackled with it
cackled with it

he said something
but what?
damn it
she didn't hear

well
she couldn't say pardon

could she?
