Phaedra's Womb

with her eyes she asks so much of me
her hands unsteady in a rush
watching her fingers rise in their weakness
I beckon all that I can afford

being here for her is all I can do
these yearnings in which I find myself
in attendance (wanting to attend to)
I am incapable of denying

her desires grow stronger
and I know what she wishes
her longings are rooted deep
within her womanhood

and I provide for them as I can

her friends know me as 'distant'
yet not beyond their reach
they smile from the parlor
she approaches them in her way

their airs fill the room
with jasmine and patchouli
they love her as she needs them to
far more than I could know

yet not more than I do


Touch, but don't look

Fascinating, and very telling. Thanks for the portrait of a time.

Portrait of a time?

The majority vote says no, that's not it at all. But thanks for being on our show today! You've been a real good sport!

No surprises here Jack, I'm used to being in the minority. Not the first time I missed the mark, won't be the last.
