Interrogate me
Softly
In this small dim room.
Bend close to me
Under this small light
As it dangles overhead---
Casting shadows
On your intent face
And breathless intentions.
You don't intimidate me
With your hard stare.
I want the same things you do---
Submission.
Truth.
Release.
Accuse me
Of holding out on you---
It's true.
But what compromise,
Couched in longing and affection,
Can we agree to?
What terms will you offer me
In exchange for my surrender?
Bend close to me
Under this small light
As it dangles, quivering
In anticipation
Of what is to come.
Softly
