Lover

I love you, Lilith,
but I tire of your uppity manner.

You can leave me whenever you want,
and I'll just grow another beauty from one of my ribs.

I think I'll keep you around for a while though.

No, you're not being too rough on me in our private congress.
Neosporin is cheap my lover.

The safety word is Amen

Horray for the Neosporin but it isn't cheap when one lives on Social Security. Keep writing. Sara
