I only felt like you belonged to me<\/p>\n
when that girl caressed you while
\ncalling me \u201csir.\u201d Regardless, you really <\/p>\n
are quite lovely. I\u2019m sorry that I cannot <\/p>\n
appreciate you the way others do,
\ncannot make peace with the way <\/p>\n
you bounce when I run, gathering<\/p>\n
sweat in the cotton moat of my bra.
\nThe sand in your hourglass runs<\/p>\n
faster than the rest of this body, <\/p>\n
though I wonder who will still manage
\nto touch you\u2014 your presence so large, <\/p>\n
so dirty, so obvious that I keep you
\nbound against me. If I let the doctors <\/p>\n
carve apart your softness, will lovers <\/p>\n
lay closer to the heart? Who will love
\nthis hollowed body, shape my manhood <\/p>\n
into more than a kink? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
