“Are you a virgin?”

Red-stained lips tickled my ear

As her hands slid down my slender chest

The woman had whispered to me.

I said yes

Her hair felt thick in my hands

Not quite black, but not brown

Aged and stained, and very strong

In the endless repeat of city weather.

Focused in on kicked-off heels

Her back made out in the obsidian polish

I was lost behind her, too short to be seen

But perhaps I liked it better that way.

A wave of pleasure

Lost within a second of her action

Trained too well to know what is superb

And what best suits the price of an inept man.
