Eye bought Silver Satin Sheets
for The Man Eye Cannot Have
but made My Bed with old
brown flannel bottom
and holy cream top
for The Man Who Is My Husband
Eye have withdrawn Knife

slow-mo pulsation
Over pink carnations

give yourself away
Dr Blair, on the night of August 14, 1999
Eye made you sign a contract for sex.
Eye would like to renew that contract,
update it by 19 years to include
hotel, food, gas, all extraneous expenses
+ $500.00 upfront per 24 hour period
of My Companionship.
Is this too much to ask for the continuation
of what was a marriage based
solely on sexuality?
Audacious Husband
refuses to pay for sex
after eighteen years
Eye have inserted
My 2nd Best Kitchen Knife
inside the depths of Rose
Every Woman Knows
Prostitution is Marriage
With Every Bed Made
Eye have propositioned
My Estranged Husband
for sexual favours
under the table —
His refusal to accept
has left Me
rejected, neglected
alone
and punished.
A man wants a woman
to have orgasm(s)
because she loses control.
Men like women
to lose control.
It turns them on.
And if a man
makes a woman
have orgasm(s)
he feels empowered.
BTW: Woman do not really care
if a man has one or not.
Don’t have sex
if you are fertile
and do not want to get pregnant —
If you do get pregnant
and you are afraid to have The Child
think of Him or Her
as Your Own Creation
Your Own Empowerment:
The Bond of Mother and Child
is Sacred
