On New Year’s Day,
One Mr. Grey
Wanted to have my number.
He asked me this:
Will I be his?
What a cheek! Ask me in December.
***
As days grew long
His lust was strong,
His heart a glowing ember.
He promised the moon
If we went out in June.
I don’t know… Ask me in December!
***
This rainy fall,
Wrapped in my shawl
I tried to endure November.
He tried sweet talk
To loose my frock.
Are you mad? Ask me in December.
***
One winter day
Poor Mr. Grey
Told me it was December.
He wanted me
To answer him.
Answer what? I can’t remember.
