LIKE FINGERING 47BCA Poem by Terry CollettA ROMAN WOMAN AND HER SLAVE GIRL LOVER IN 47BCAmica mea columba, I whisper to Amy as she prepares my bath. Domitia has left us after a long afternoon of talk and gossip. Marcus is off on one of Caesar's campaigns; his love making (as such as it is) has ceased. Amy is now my bed mate, my love, my dove. Puella, Domitia had called to Amy, as if Amy were her slave girl and not mine. Now she prepares me for the bath; undresses me, undoing the sashes and undoing me in heart and mind. Last night her fingers slid into me, aroused me from deep slumber, broke me in like a wild stallion is tamed. Last night I kissed her breasts; lips touched soft flesh, mouthed teats as an infant greedily. I am naked now, ready for my bathe. Annona, she whispers, the water is done. She stands and watches me, her hands nearby to aid; her eyes feeding on my body; her tongue at the side of her mouth, lingering, that too, last night, inside me, like fingering. © 2016 Terry Collett |
