16th December 2024

 



stormclouds

gilded by silver

postponed dawn

with open hand, my love approaches close

her fingers tight like soldiers fit for war

he hugs are tighter than those of other folk

and hold me motionless upon a matted floor.

A sensual grip indeed becomes her aim

with groove of thumb and wrist against my neck;

her fingers curled around my shirt to gain

a grip so tight that sleep begins to peck

at consciousness, until I am quite sure

that no escape from tender can snap

her from a hold so tight the only cure

to avoid an unpleasant dream. I tap.

The expertly applied hold is released:

cross-collar choke, my mistress, is a beast.
