Name

Day 5: RWP suggested personifying poetry. Liked this prompt--might try another take later if I have time:

Name

He is a lover

who doesn’t come over for months sometimes

No matter how much I long for him.

He appears without warning,

Saunters in, tosses off his hat,

Grabs me by the arms,

Pushes me up against the wall

And takes me,

So fast and sure

it’s only after

He leaves without so much

as a sideways glance, I realize

I forgot again

To ask him his name.
