An Ampersand &... Poem by Dónall Dempsey

“Kiss me there...
there oh &

... there!

She instructs
my tongue

tells me where
it should be

...going.

What exactly
it should be

...doing.

I take her
instruction

proceed with
caution

an ever eager
student.

Tells me to
“bite ever so softly

gently hard.”

I obey her
orders.

Pleasured
by her pleasure.


Tells me to
“ever so delicately

draw a figure
of 8

slowly oh
...slowly.”

I...slowly...oh...slowly.

Then with the very tip
of my tongue

her name.

I write
her name

lips parted

over *&* over
again.

We travel through
the entire alphabet

letter
by
delicious
letter

both
Upper
&
lower

case.

A simple X
hits the spot.

As does
a Capital G!

“Oh, yes...yes
that’s...! ”

“What was that! ? ”
she gasps.

“An ampersand! ”

“Oh, ampersand
me more! ”
