Sunday Bedtime

Marcello Cortese

I hope you did not see

Me

eating your strawberries 

in the dark.

Oh dear.

I thought I would take the liberty

of your kitchen to finish

them off

in the dark.

I did it 

to be naughty and to stay up

against the night.

Because they were so sweet and I could not see

them. 

There were other things 

inside the refrigerator.

But all that I wanted was

to eat you

r strawberries.

Just two.

perhaps three.

Please

do not mind the stains 

on my lips

from the strawberries.

I wish to leave them there

for they were yours.

I should leave

perhaps one more, I think. They are so pink.

After all, you left

them out.

What did 

you 

Expect?
