SEX TOO PAINFUL
You speak of love while
Clenching your sheets
Many a jug we've spilled
On this tent floor
Here we have broken more than bread
In search of relief, in search of love
You pen my name in your diary
Bound in soft brown leather
But will you remember my name
When the cover is dry and cracked?
When my hair is gray and your breasts are hollow?
Sex too painful to permit entrance?
If you love me give me a token
A child that will bare my name
A warrior to protect you when I have no teeth to bite affliction
A child who will blossom into womanhood
The mother of a mighty race
When I am but dust under their feet
Stirred by the desert wind
