HEPHAESTUS
the cripple
even Hephaestus
by dint of marriage vow and
obligation
got to fuck wife Aphrodite and her
to make pretty for him
and despite her best beauty instincts
to to thunderously climax
thinking of
lover Ares, brawny beast personified,
of his depth of
possession and strength of
control
nevertheless, thrilling her husband
with, even if not for him,
sweet loving words
whispered into her ear
much despite her better must
be what I am true
sexual goddess judgement
for this time at least
willing to do ugly if not
entirely in the cause of charity,
this somewhat
adulterated by
something
difficult to differentiate between
love
that suddenly makes
an appearance from nowhere
and pleasure, that is
what it is, and, by rule of thumb
(and fingers
and everything, should never be
withheld, denied or
unreasonably contained)
