Behind the black and white
polka dot curtain sits a shelf
of tiny shoes that fall onto
our heads when we fuck.
I hold onto it with my fists
like I did twenty years ago
in the mall where we met.
Clarks then, Timberlands
shifting in their stacks, you
behind me in the stockroom.
Now velcro Vans and soft-
soled Chuck Taylors, bump
down my back, the Back
in 10 Minutes sign I gave
you suctioned to the door.
I hold you until you slip
out. We share cool down
kisses in which love is
exchanged and swallowed.
Pulling away pecks promise
we haven’t gone too far
for me to step back out
into the sun and for you
to return to your register.
