Leather
My covered eyes see nothing through darkness
but my other senses have heightened
I hear every footstep crush softly over
the carpeted floor beneath me
I feel his hands gently move across
my skin, caressing
I smell the leather I’m wearing, and it reminds
me that I am home, and I have found
my center.
There is only one that remains, taste.
And I have no doubt it will be
nectar.
