Medicine

The advice lingers in memory
and as he pulls himself from the dark cave
determined to shed the old habits
he imagines her sweet lips forming
to instruct, "a spoonful of honey a day"

And that's how he starts

It is a necessary routine now
paired with the awareness
that he must move his body
to allow the fluid to travel
to his joints and absorb the purity
of this natural medicine

Three weeks in,
it draws the sweetness
and she opens wide
to allow his tongue
to dip inside the nectar

He is harder than ever
and after the tasting
she begs that he
slide himself inside
her sticky grip

She likes to taste it, too
licking it from his spent cock
eager for him to rise again

He smiles sweetly to himself,
knowing that she has imparted
a secret knowledge
that will satisfy him for years
