sex alleviated soothed his angst
the
blue lacy agate his daughter selected for him helped but wasnt the trick it was heavy hard in his hand in his palm
she told him it would help
calm him Yareally think I need to be
calm calmed
You? Yes.
he needed something softer more pliable delicate
He knew
the deeperHim knew
He mustered a salve a dreamed salve at once a voicenot his wordsnot in his hand he listened to the voice followedread
with it like a subtitle
she glistened
and looked and felt and smelled
and tasted like split stonefruit
he could feel his spine relax
become a snakespine able to
curlcoil a catspine elastic agile
an atop it his skull warming
soothed bathed
angst away
glistening
looked
smelled
tasted
split stonefruit
He saw the day comingstress coming and wanted him warmedup stretchedout to
face it
