born maleable
and taught to be small;
forced to cage themselves
and change themselves
to please.
shown and scolded on what not to do
on how not to act
on how to seem less masculine
how to be muted.
forced to explore their mothering tendency,
and shun their expressive sexuality.
lusted after,
hungered after
as fingers beg to fill the hole between their legs.
swirling their compulsory heterosexuality.
but the finish never comes,
he's tired.
the buzzing filling their stomach
dissipating, replaced with empty shame.
left on the steps of her porch,
to quietly enter her bed,
emptying herself into sleep.
