I Write EroticaA Poem by Matthew Clough
I keep my friends lined up on shelves
in tidy little rows organized by size so that they won't ever think about misbehaving. I take them down one by one and finger through them on lonely days when rain blows in through the open window. Sometimes I'll nuzzle their smooth insides against my cheek and hum along with the gentle rustling they make, squirming under my omnipotent presence. I think they like it when I strum their spines and murmur nothings to their nakedness. I slip myself inside of them one at a time, up to three simultaneously if I'm feeling particularly bold. Hold still, Lo! You must exist in my spaces, each curve of your quivering outsides grasped firmly between my hands, your ruffled hair falling formlessly like sentences. At climax we breathe and release and it's on to the next one. Orderly now, follow suit! The next is firmer, denser than the last, but just as rich. I line my friends back up on their shelves and wave farewell until tomorrow, when I shall return empty and spent again, in need of submissive escape.
