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?
