knew better

once put in my place
I don’t quite  find it mine
she cried
Dominique  cried
deported

will you fly to me?
of course
call me?
yes

by the way
I am still doing it every night
in my thoughts
sweetheart
I was right I didn’t

wasn’t I?

good husband
car
house
and no accent
when he says
what I used to

I didn’t fly
I knew better
what you needed
to thrive
