Sting of the Needle

a hum breaks up the silence.
a touch almost like a lover runs across my pale skin.
the mind is lost in a dreamlike state.
the hum stops and music playing up front returns.
something cool slides across my skin.
i’m back to reality.
i look over my shoulder and pride shines
in the face of the man.
i’ve just been intimate with.
i get up and keeping my bare breasts covered
i look in the mirror and see his masterpiece
that covers the full length of my back
i have wings now and i will forever fly.
