The Golden Hour

— Inking Souls

He took her to Eleved

at the golden hour.

The lamps glowed dim,

and the crowd thinned.


He reached his hand

across her thigh.


“Oh God, oh God,

I am hard.

My penis is pushing

against my trousers

from inside.


The warmth,

the softness

of her thighs

for this, dear God,

I will kill my wife twice.”
