beyond bed
across room
forgotten detail
some strange furniture
a hard black shell with ivory strips
never seen anything like it
but the perfect height
gleaming
waiting
idea forms
images rise
memories of before
of taking her
of claiming her
of being inside her
want that again
want everything
want to worship properly
completely
fully
withdraw fingers
she whimpers
protest
confusion
lift her
one arm beneath knees
other supporting back
cradling against chest
she feels so small
so light
