Sanctify
Jenn Thomas-Orr
I love how you sanctify my big body
With your touch.
Your desire tears their mocking to shreds.
Derisive voices
Whispering, fingers pointing
They think me deaf.
They think you stupid.
"He's so gorgeous
She's so old so fat so ugly so worthless
So not like us."
"What does he see in that thing
That cow that pig that dog?"
You don't even hear them.
I hear
Every
Damnable
Word
Thrown like a javelin
Stabbing me
In the heart.
And I lean back in my wheelchair
Looking up into your face
As you push
And I say
"I want to go home
Inside
Take me home."
And you say
"Why? I can't hear them
They don't matter."
So I know
That you hear them
But you just
Refuse to listen
And I want
You to teach me
How to do that.
Please?
I want
To go home
Inside
Hide in a cave
Safe from the looks
The sly laughs
The pointing fingers
The gasps of shock
The smirks and gaping maws.
I want to hide.
And you won't allow it.
You tell me
"Why are you ashamed
You have nothing
To be ashamed of."
And we walkroll on.
Later when we go home
On the couch we curl
Up around each other
You catlike
Small, almost frail
Me big, soft
You cushion your head
On my immense breasts
And sigh
Contented.
And you murmur to me
Tell me all of the things
You want to do with me
To me
How you want to touch
My body
My big soft round body.
There is no shame.
Just now
I am oh, so beautiful.
Glowing
Vibrant
Hot and wild.
You stand
Give me your arm
Hand me a cane
And we staggerwalk
To the bedroom
Where
Your touch
Sanctifies my big body
And
Your desire
Tears their mocking
To shreds.
For Isaac, who sanctifies me in all ways
