It’s an unflattering pose -
on my knees, hands clasped
feigning piety,
as she sleeps, naked,
the small of her back
still wearing
a slick coat of sweat,
while I whisper words that
just might be
meaningless,
into a slim navy pillow stained
with
conspicuous white blotches
of my own
making.
------
"Imperious, choleric, irascible, extreme in everything, with a dissolute imagination the like of which has never been seen... there you have me in a nutshell, and kill me again or take me as I am, for I shall not change."
From his Last Will & Testament, Marquis de Sade
