A man knows
How to prick his
Lady’s temper -
In the places which
Are her domain -
One question
With a tone of urgency :
“The tea is not
Ready yet?”
And he’ll watch
Her proceed in
The most predicted manner,
As he gets the tea
And the pleasure
All on his tongue
In the next two minutes -
I see her everyday
And feel a twitch
In my throat -
But in the corner,
I do gulp down
A few doses of pleasure
From his vial, too -
I’m an element
External to their bubble,
Perhaps a kin,
the salt, the glass or her bra -
It makes me question
Everyday about the back door
Attached to the kitchen
And why she moves
Towards it every day
But never flees? -
I gulp another dose
Of pleasure every time
She decides to stay.
