From Behind

When first he took her from behind,
he found she wasn’t disinclined:
but, then, he'd known when they first met
the love she sought was less than kind.

And soon it was an act unsaid:
she’d wait on all fours on his bed
for him, observing etiquette,
to lick her spine from tail to head.

But now they always fuck like this:
no meeting eyes, no lovers’ kiss –
perhaps it helps them to forget
precisely who the other is.
