An Old Story

Just because I’ve nothing to say
that hasn’t been said before

doesn’t mean I won’t say it –
how I squeezed her nipple

between my thumb and forefinger,
how she moaned

as if the world were dying,
how we fell asleep directly after

and slept for an hour,
how we awoke under a sheet

covered with stars.
