EMOTIONAL VAGABONDS (2)

"Don't come around here, no more."
she said,
So he bounced from pair-of-arms to pair-of-arms,
traveling meanderingly
among women who were available -
who made great lovers
great kissers,
and great moments of warmth,
but who were not her.

But as he lay in bed
on the opposite side of them,
and they from him,
both sides felt a bite
of a morsel
that was more than nothing
and better than
an empty stomach.

But how long could it last?
