conversations with imaginary sisters, erotic poetry, i'm spilling more thank ink y'all, mischief mad, myrrh like honey, poem, song of songs, sonnet, tell-tale, wet oven heat
Mischief-mad, hidden among the cushions,
you guide three fingers under your burqa,
biting back a tell-tale groan. Your oven’s
wet heat, stoked each night from ash to lava
while your husband snores near by, still tortures
you the way faith haunts your thoughts all day long.
When the first wet spot bleeds through your knickers;
when myrrh drips from, like honey in the Song
of Songs, your fingers –– then even mischief
isn’t enough. Mother-in-laws yammer
and whine, but you smolder: wet oven heat,
holy cum shrine. Your longing is as tough
as your soul’s flesh. Faith is only torture
in a world that wants you chaste and discreet.
