He Likes Sex but Only From Rachel

he takes me in
the purple abyss of 3 A.M.
to cuddle and kiss
and to serve as
his blanket
undercover
to grab my hand
and to rattle my unwilling heart
defenseless
naive
resisting
him

he has a girlfriend
back home in West Virginia
who argues
to unmend him
from his own spirit and will
closer to her side
which makes him crave
her absence
and makes him unravel
my messy
untamed sense
