Dream Come True

You and I dreamed of what this would be like

Walking hand in hand in the moonlight

Fingers intertwined

Our skin feeling each other, our bare feet feeling the grass

We dreamt

Of slipping each the other’s clothes off in the moonlight

Exploring

Hand to breasts, hand to body

Breathing the scent of each other

Our sweat slicked skin on each other’s

And consummation, one inside the other

In the soft moonlight

Orgasm that made no difference

Of identities, and neither would know

Who was who

And we would make love for ever.

You and I made this dream come true

We walked barefoot on the grass

And the thorns pricked our feet

We slipped our clothes off

And mosquitoes flocked to the treat.

The only thing left

Is for you to tell me

That you are pregnant

Or you have HIV.
