Wean

by Rob Littler

I know you best
In the dark black
Of night—how you sweat

Even the most minute
Detail, muttering about never
Having time forever and everything

Else, but the already-pledged, the
Sale-already-made. How many
Times have you made a man

Take aim, dressed in fur, antlers
Knocking like wind chimes—
Playing only if you are the game.

Quite the images here. Loved the "antlers knocking like wind chimes."

Fidelity caused by love, that last line. My kind of poem.
