Proof
Making love an act
of call and response
we played at proving
each other wrong
with tenderness and revenge
our song of redemption
I was to you as
you were to me
both of us needing
to know just how far
we could scrape toward
not quite enough
each climax bringing us
closer to the ordinary
In our attempts at disproving
the restlessness of dreamers,
we proved each other right.
