Poetry
written in 2025
They sat-
superfluous,
for so many years,
undisturbed
like fine art
suffering in
an unlit corner.
Now nipples stand
erect, flesh ripe as
air tickles
goose flesh.
How glorious to be
desired.
I'll admire
how fantastically
wild they bounce
when going fast and
going deep
and covet the
hands that caress
and cradle them
while I drift off
to sleep.
One more year
or one more hour-
every ounce-
I'll remember them,
before they
may be gone,
or transform.
The memory
of being wanted
will fuel me like a storm
as life stings and
stings like salt.
But still I smile
as they sit,
proud and ready,
for assault.
