my sub

he feeds me rolls of twenties

sticky from his anxious fingers his eyes can’t land until i whip him with my tongue and then

so solid release carves him into a huMan

his nails curling around the toes of my socks the edges of his lips twitching and when he

texts me “sorry mistress” from the laundromat

i imagine him sitting in front of the machine that perpetual tear drop of a face

reflected in the undertow of the pay per use washer

&This is how he can pretend he is drowning in

my sudsy lingerie
