Manhood in my Clitoris
Exquisite orgasm.
Spread outwards.
I beg you make me shake.
I drew you out for long enough.
Building that ache,
with such a bullet.
Stop-start. Stop-start. Stop-start.
I scream no name.
I am performing not.
I gasp and laugh in saintly sweat,
for I am my lover.
I need you not, for I have
faux fur to cup my cheek
as I lie back, and think of
just how pleasurable it is,
to know I can bring myself to this.
Such agency over myself
is something to which I am
unaccustomed,
with this body.
I have a clitoris between my legs
and a manhood in my head,
for I am a man.
Sometimes I fear this body.
But I can touch myself – such a
comfort was unknown to me.
For so long.
But now I have it.
I have something of my body that comforts me.
It clears my mind –
leading me to know unencumbered
that in time, with my agency,
the rest of my body shall be formed,
into such comfort.
