why are you so
scared?
I whisper to
every
pair
of lust clouded eyelids
as they float
above my pillows;
manhandled
by unfamiliar fingers
and bent to
accommodate
strange strands of hair
against their cool cases

they fight to
hide the fear,
they fight
through kisses and spankings
and false encounters
of meaningless
embraces

they enable fright
as it
oozes out of their ears,
surrounding their
bodies
in layers of
impermeable
slime
that not even the
needle
of a lovers touch
could penetrate

so I'll never understand
the paradox
as they cling to me--
flesh to flesh--
with desperation
don't leave me
alone*
but repel my same soul
so I may never
touch
their
truth
