I was lean and hungry
A total stranger

You did not love me
I did not know you
We fumbled together
In the dark

There were times that we
Could have fixed it
We could have danced
And touched toes in the firelight

But you tied my feet
Unglued my eyes
Let me die and be reborn

I heard you sigh
Felt your palms raised upward

While I made mating decisions
In the dark
