Stroke
Stroke
As my rescued kitten purrs next to me
And I stroke his long body…
I am lullabied
between my comfort and my nurture.
As your penis becomes erect in my hand
And I stroke its length…
I am mesmerized
between my confusion and my desire.
As I absorb the sex offender’s sobs of remorse
And I stroke his back and feel his shudder…
I am stupefied
between my empathy and my anger.
As I offer up my yoga practice
And I stroke my soul…
I am edified
between my resistance and my acceptance
