I will be your ravager,
I will be the bringer of your satisfaction,
The taper of your desires cup,
The drinker of your nectar sweet.
I will do what you want men to do and then some;
My body will be the instrument of your pleasure,
I will satisfy you wholly.
Every secret desire, every specified positioning;
I’ll do it, no question.
I will be as strong and as gentle as you want me,
I will treat you like dirt, or like a queen.
If you want me to, I will wrench open my heart,
I will spill its contents before you; I will be a poet.
Or I can be a stone, unbreakable, cold.
I will look into your eyes with fire either way.
It is the passion, the inborn nature of my flesh;
I call it curse, I call it beauty, you call it hope, you call it love.
Maybe.
If it is, it’s preceded by your needs, nourished by your truth;
It starts with your word, and then ends when you want it to.
So simple, isn’t it?

I am the two-toed wanderer
