Ash













By Marie Cloutier

Copyright ©2024


Your fingers weren't ash

the night they were inside me.

You shocked the bloom from my legs

when I heard your slang words for pussy.

 

Your fingers weren't ash

bobbling the room key in the rain,

our wet shoes long forgotten

in echoed wordless conversation.

 

Your fingers are now ash

and yet they grip me once again,

strum me back to the memory

of that one and only day.
