gemini

There were four of us
because we had to be four
and there was catherine
and there was Charlene
and there was Magalie
and there was me
we were eleven

and we thought
we could be witches
if we tried
and we played
and tried
to levitate

While we were
on Catherine's
water-filled bed
I told them
that I had lost
my virginity
to a ghost
and his name
was Mark
and I loved him so
and he was
my uncle
who had died
from leukemia
long ago
way before
I was born

and they said
I was lucky
to have had sex
because they
wanted to
have some too
