Kind Affair
a sonnet-inspired poem examining the connection between infidelity and resentment
You cheated on my soul before my lips
had ever touched his skin. This careful tryst
is not about some urge I can't resist
for wanton need of orgasm or hips
that gyrate rhythmically together to
fulfill libidinous attraction. This
affair was never to compare to his
your kisses or anatomy. This new
desire was never for his penis. Sheer
release I found instead in making love
to all the parts you never had above
the neck: a truthful mouth and ears that hear.
You'll never love because such parts you lack.
It's only my affair which loves me back.

On Winning and Losing
Recently, the pleasant surprise of placement on the Vocal Bonus Leaderboard sent me down a rabbit hole. Now, rabbit holes are a pretty common place for me to spend time, but I don't always feel the call to write about them. To be honest, the thought of sharing some of them mortifies me.
