Though difficult
and shot through
with misgivings
I must have
done right
by myself
giving up
pick and shovel
that vein played out
for now
even though
my surrender is
incomplete
my reservations
requiring satisfaction
one happy woman
after another
slips into
and out of
my bed
throughout the night
each
showing her appreciation
for
what I have done
no terms uncertain.
