The Last Time

Ralph Monday

he picked the whore
up in front of a bar
How much
That depends
Get in

instead of a motel
room a drive to
darkened woods
by the river
he took her to
dinner
eat well he told
her it’s for your
soul
between
bites her soul
remained hungry
afterwards he
took her to a
movie held her
hand in the sad
parts when she
cried
for your heart he said
her heart could
not weep
later still they
concluded with
a concert and
ballet about
Romeo, Juliet
for your eyes
she saw and
wept for the
times at the river
for your ears
she heard only
sounds that
she wished to
forget
he brushed back
her tangle of
hair kissed
her fingertips
in parting
Thank you
she said
Tell mother
that I’m sorry
