Notes About The Poem

This poem attempts to relate the act of theater with the act of tabboos. It does not represent the views of where I work.

Throat Theatre

She prayed like an innocent, ready for training, 
Prepared to obey his command,
Committing her soul, and all that she was, 
To all that he would demand,

And he embraced his potent beautiful might, 
As he held out the black leather belt,
Slowly, eloquently, wrapping her throat, 
Constricting her while she still knelt,

With her eyes tightly shut, her hands by her side, 
Her hair put up in a plait,
She was bound to the side of the dark wooden room, 
In this powerful dominant act,

And she loved every second of her subservient night, 
She loved being told what to do,
She loved letting go of all self-control, 
Of living a night of taboo.
