He leaves me breathless,
Whimpering in near madness,
Sated,
Desire abated…

inaction seen by detached retinas
Silently viewing
societal norm walls falling
Violently by lewd winds toppling ...
house of marked cards folding

by sheathed samurai
slanted palms
A poor, old man’s wisdom
saved a village
Pure rice patty knowledge
was sown
