Phaedra's Womb

0 posted 2014-03-02 09:58 PM


Two shadows on a trembling wall
Fingers tracing over curves

Heavy breathing in smoke filled corners
Tongues flickering like vipers

Beads of sweat rolling over skin
Fan blades stirring voices

Rains falling from a darkened ceiling
Raising rivers over levees of doubt

So firm in her resolve
So firm in his resolve

The money went into a charitable trust
She cashed him after his failed rehearsal

Never bet on a loser
          Unless you want to win


Touch, but don't look

The rhythmic motion of your Ben-Wa's may lead one to the most provocative of interpretations.

Touch, but don't look
