Home by Mrs Yolanda Joy Nicholsen

there was never any need 
to sway from the bunkers 
that evening the way the tall 
pines swayed mastering 

my innermost self to a tiny 
craft beneath the woods 
as night shattered the small 
lantern resistance followed 

far beyond what I needed 
at the time of the entrance 
gathering I remember being 
consoled smitten from the bottom
 
of the calvary where haste had 
bothered to intrude I catered 
to your manhood even though 
it had withered long before 

the boots had entered I didn't 
dare blink mine eyes wide shut 
my ruby red lips trembled I 
licked them in a brief attempt 

to moisten them preventing 
a cracked chafing effect biting 
my bottom one merely drawing 
blood tasting the rawness of fear
 
the red coats were leaving now 
standing before me was her 
in all her beauty in all her glory 
America embracing my tiny form
