Nineteen

The nineteen welts
along her buttocks
were not to signify
any ritualistic
allusions.

The 8th prime number
Surrendering
Endurance
The Prince of Heaven
The 19 days of the sun
Merely K
or Intimate Love

Her threshold
for pain,
not a hash tag
to make the leap
through digital space,

But rather,
the point at which
her entire body,
from the root
of her nose
to the tips
of her toes,
was ignited,

and when he entered her,
from her edge
of her coracobrachialis,
where his fingers
forcefully inserted,
wrapped to grapple her frame,
to the base of her spine
where his body slammed
into her,
filling her,
mounted and thrusting,

and she came easily,
her entire body
attuned
to the number, 19.
