Below is a poem that I wrote about a month ago. We all have
our weaknesses and sometimes it’s best to face them head on and hope for the
best.
An “Afternoon Affair”
(copyright Glenn K. Currie 2014) can wear a hole in the fabric of your everyday
routine and change your outlook on life. It certainly has had an impact on mine.

Afternoon Affair
We lay together.
Seven different
positions.
Always in the same
order,
Except once.
When she wanted to
reverse
The sequence.
She insisted she be
in control.
And I gave myself
To her.
Removing my pants
On her command,
And lying beneath her.
The affair lasted
nine weeks.
She drained me dry.
Forcing me, finally,
To walk away
In an effort to
Save myself.
I miss her a little.
The quiet is
unsettling.
Like the aftermath
On a battlefield.
Now I wait to see
If we killed the
cancer.
