My initial thought
is fuck you
when she
turns me down
for sex
It usually ends
with me fucking me
a scent of loss
emanating
from my hand
Resent travels
by my side
like a love letter
marked
return to sender
Celibacy
has my hands
softer than
they should be
balled up
in fists
on the verge
of going postal
