I&#8217;ve been talking with Brian for the past few hours. We&#8217;re discussing polyamory and the integrity inherent in honour. It&#8217;s still decided that I&#8217;m not poly, which amuses me because damned well everyone else is. Sometimes I feel like a bastion of olde world sensibility dancing to a tune no one&#8217;s heard of. It&#8217;s thought that sensibility will see me through, as apparently I&#8217;m intelligent enough to be trustworthy? It&#8217;s a good afternoon conversation, if we were talking in person, we would be lounging together somewhere with hot chocolate. He&#8217;s thin, but wonderful to lean into. I&#8217;m suspicious of compliments, I tell him, and he laughs. I&#8217;m brave, he tells me, I walk into death without noticing. I don&#8217;t believe it because it&#8217;s built in. That he can give me examples makes my denial twitch. I&#8217;m a cat trying to brush something off my fur. Living anarchy streets with no wrong turns. It&#8217;s something new to integrate into my self view. I&#8217;m stuck against the wall, pinned by someone smarter than me. Actually, cancel that. I don&#8217;t need the image of being pinned against a wall by Brian. He&#8217;s slightly too svelte for that and my mind far too amused. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/img.photobucket.com\/albums\/v600\/WinterRose\/you_are_not.gif\"><\/p>\n<p><i>This is for <a href=\"http:\/\/mckenzee.livejournal.com\/\" class=\"lj-user\">mckenzee<\/a> who has broken his arm at the elbow and has to take time off from being a <strike>photographer<\/strike> cable guy.<br \/>\n<\/i><br \/>\nShe took the shiny tab of the zipper and pulled it all the way up. My flesh went taut and to distract myself I studied the way her painted nails glittered sharp and tear shaped against her faux leather pants. &#8220;What were you expecting?&#8221; she asked, &#8220;Surgery is over. That was it.&#8221; Her hands had trespassed, forcing skin open, cutting with a scalpel the skin of my chest. I found something erotic in the way she sang with the knife. I imagined taking it and making her cry, but instead I only held myself still as she broke me open. I was scared, trembling, though yesterday I was calm, dreaming quietly of blue steel teeth. There will never be a chance of infection. Yesterday is far away now, this procedure is irrevocable, the flesh won&#8217;t knit back. I wanted to be perfect. I wanted to be accessible. She looks bored as she helps me sit up. I adore her, I worship her. Now, finally, my lovers can touch my heart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Goths Playing Poker and Kinksters Bowling should both be black velvet paintings.
