Shuijing Zhulian

Love at First Sight

him and I: love at first sight
due to excess yearning
this slice of romance only lasted a day and a twilight
this slice of romance had only just shown up
          jiggling its hips
when it left
right now I can’t recall any of it
right now I’m like someone who’s not ever loved: utterly
          spotless and clean

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT

right now I’m like someone who’s not ever loved: utterly
