P. 23
You
Are dangerous to me
Like an irritated lion
Devouring its prey
As I walk up on you
I startle you
But you want me to stay
You
Are dangerous to me
Because I cannot touch
Taste
Smell
Feel
You
But these are things I have done before
You
Are dangerous to me
Because I do not love you
Know you
Want you to be my husband
But I want you right now
You watch me
You feast
Warn me from coming nearer
But only so much
That I do not leap in your reach
But take small steps
Closer in your sight
Closer so you may bite
And devour
Me
