Whores

The best thing about a whore
is her honesty,
fucking real honesty like
you can't even get in church.

And when they tell you about your cock,
how nice it is and sweet and pure,
when they pump you up about your scent
after you've been in the mines for a week,
when they hold you after you cum
then ask you for head until they get off,
when they say they want you to be happy

they mean it; like the sound a bottle of beer
makes as it thuds, drained, on the table
just between you and her, smoking ashtray,
dirty sweaty sheets, she means it,
right then and in full flare of angelic acceptance,
she believes it and she means it.
That's why you will fall in love with her.
