Waxworks

Edward Lee

Do you remember that tunnel
in the old waxworks
we crawled though,
stopping halfway through
to kiss, and touch,
our hearts hammering
with desire
and the possibility
of being discovered,
before continuing on,
faces red and bodies eager,
to look at the rest of the wax statues
that looked nothing like
whoever they were meant
to look like, strangers to us
and to themselves?

I remember, of course,
though there is little
I do not remember
of our time together,

our one year, six months
and thirteen days still existing
inside my heart
and nowhere else,
the memory of us
a stranger to you now.
