Benched

Standing at the bench, unpacking the day
Warm hands slide beneath yielding fabric
Smooth concave ridges
Hiding veins of tension
Familiar fingertips
Delve pressured perfusion

Fanning forward in dissolution
Listing buttocks press hips
Pillowed firmness, reward for labour
Raising structures
Encouraging efforts
Draining apprehension and strain

Pinned between worker and bench
Firm rod rolling between rump and thigh
Through spun raiment
Over smoothed shoulders
Proclamation from protruding chin

“time to feed the kids babe”

Damn.
