Nackt
As we were both naked
I remember
I looked at your hand and saw
You bent your finger under your palm,
Hiding that silver ring.
I thought,
“Monogamy is for fools.”
Later, you said,
“Wenn wir mehr zeit hätten,
Ware es einfach in dir verliebt zu sein.”
We lay naked on the blue bed
Under the high alt-bau ceiling,
And I said,
“Es ware.”
And in stuttering German,
“Wir haben alle die Zeit in der Welt.”
And you laughed.
