Ginsburg, Allen - Student Love

Student Love

The boy's fresh faced,18, big smile
underwear hangs below his shorts, he's a kid
                                                     still growing
legs strong, he hugs me, steps away—
In twenty years thick bellied,
           bright eyes dulled with office work,
      his children'll pout in the
                                   bathroom—
Better get in bed with him on top of me now
              laughing at my pot belly
before decades pass, bring our bony skulls whispering
                                         to the hospital bedside.
