what a man will do to a woman

exert your dominance
show us what it means to be a man

cheer him on and join in

what a man will do to a woman
fire throttled from his chest
out of his mouth and through his fingertips
he will do to you, too.
but much more slowly
like a leopard in wait
in the thick of disguise
his patience never waning
and one day
precision skillfully masked
the penultimate moment at which he decides
he will pounce
catch you by surprise

what a man will do to a woman
he will do to you, too.
