| Tonight is the first time
since he told me how things have changed. And so I pull my tongue across him hoping maybe this lick, or that, will make him love me again. I look up at him feeling nothing but a steady rhythm, blood through the only organ he knows how to use. Me and my ideas about self-respect; nothing matters now. I put everything into turning him because he may reach out, say my name the way he used to before the moment dies and his heart takes over again. |
