maybe frighteningly more

Why was I ashamed to be seen on the waterfront 
with her? We both felt the past slip 
from our shoulders, rose-lipped and listening to 
jet engines Doppler across the night. 
Wasn’t I also me when I lay with her? 
Maybe frighteningly more. My sleepsmile 
and low whispers hers, too. O, 
delicious agony, I’ve divided right 
to my body’s historic wharf. I only trust the sweat 
salting down my back her fingernail tracks.
