"Metal none the less"

Perre L. Shelton

that
wrench-looking-something
or another-but-metal-none-the-less
dug deeper
beneath her
already swelling and puss-ing
swelling and puss-ing: something
sometimes, has been considered erotic
flesh,
than did his misogyny
yet
all the same
as has been the trend of their relation-ship
wreck
she accepted
that
wrench-looking-something
or another-but-metal-none-the-less
into her
with ease.
as it pounded through her
deeper
than did his misogyny
all the same.
and as her skin grew more inflamed
that around his limbs grew tighter
like foreskin pulled backwards upon being
aroused by the moment.
and stimulated he was
as that
wrench-looking-something
or another-but-metal-none-the-less
forced its way beneath her
once dark and rich surface
as she sobbed
released tears
while he released
deep into her
...his skin growing tighter
...his eyes and spirit
as cold and lifeless as
...his love
or something
or another-
but-metal-none-the-less
