Once, in a room no bigger than the bed, 
I made love with a girl.

                                                *

Have you ever made love with a girl?   
Once I hadn’t, then I had.

                                                *

A girl was looking up at me. 
She was lying on the grass.

                                                *

Once, after a terrible fight, I made love with a girl.
We were children again.

                                                *

Once, eating ice cream,
I smelled her body on my hands.

                                                *

The first time I made love with a girl I was scared; 
I thought I would hurt her.
