He Never Did Mind
Hand consuming my infantile thigh
Ten years his junior
I cried and begged
No
I knew not why
Mother said not to touch there
He never did mind
Temptress from a young age
I ran in the backyard
Brothers telling me to put on a shirt
I was three
He never did mind
“Kiss the people you love
You love me don’t you?”
He was like a brother to me
I was four
He never did mind
Neither and either
Two words I could spell
Impressively so, on the way to the beach
I was five
He never did mind
Sick with the flu
Soup brought to my bed
Missing the spaghetti dinner
I was six
He never did mind
Hand consuming my infantile thigh
Ten years his junior
I cried and begged
No
I knew not why
Mother said not to touch there
I was seven
He never did mind
