Love Poems for Ugly Lesbians

I.

I would love you with my whole heart

             And a cigarette butt I refuse to snuff out.

II. 

If you love me

let it ring.

In the church bell's voice

             I holler

             I love you too.

III. 

Marry me, pretty lady

All traditional

Brown suit and white lace

In my truck with a pack of reds

In the house around the record player

In bed with sweat on our backs

We could be like all those classic couples

Ancient and easy

Marry me, pretty lady.

IV. 

You taste like cardamom and citrus 

I will never lay my lips upon your knees

Without thinking myself a restless child

At the base of a orange tree.
