Teacher (2017)

 

You always wanted them to do

What they eventually do to you,

Taking charge

After you’ve been in charge for so long,

This taboo lingering in the air

Long after it ceased to make sense.

You’ve always lusted after

What youth gives them,

And they know it,

They even invite you back

After they have ceased

Being under your taboo,

Where they might finally

Give you what you want

And what you need,

Two are one,

One or the other,

Or both,

Each touching you in ways

You’ve always needed to be touched,

But could not ask for,

And don’t ask for now,

Both around you,

Like a duality you don’t

Completely understand,

Unable to tell whose touch

Is whose when it no longer matters,

Two as one,

Double pleasure

Inside and out,

Moving over and around you

Like a serpent plunging the depths of you

So deep you don’t know

Where or when it will come out

And don’t care,

Never wanting it to stop

As it always must

The lingering satisfaction

Like never imagined,

The apple the teacher always wanted

Bitten into,

Sweet and bitter,

As all good things

Come to an end
