Crabs

Marc Carver

I told her once
as she placed her hand upon me in bed.
Only in my head of course.

I couldn’t dare to speak the truth only to think it.

I was sure she knew anyway
and didn’t want to know.

After all
we were like two crabs
with our pincers stuck into each other
unable to prise ourselves apart.
Two bulls with our horns locked

A woman told me the other day
crabs mate for life,
wait,
no, maybe it was something else.
