the third tit of venus

It is there---not two breasts, but three.
I birthed it, pushing it to life
when life taught me that you hungered
for something beyond the pale---
something more than moist,
something not supine,
darker dreams and wild whims
and fantasy with edge.
I dug into my soul,
explored my deepest places,
and grew one more breast
to suckle you to pleasure.
And oh it was sweet at first,
knowing I gave you something
you craved and shared with no other.
But this venus had three paps---
and ever you suckled the one.
Is it any wonder that the nipple
grew sore, and cracked,
and now I can not bear your teething,
and creep away
rather than have to look into your eyes
and say the no I am so close to screaming?
You were my lover---
so much what I needed,
and now you are a needy spoiled monster child,
never counting the joy I gave,
but thinking only of your next sweet.
Do not ask why the honey
grew a vinegar edge,
why the orchid shirvels
when you water it not.
Do not speak to me of what you NEED,
when what I have needed
has been too much bother
for far too long.
You call me bitch now---
shrew---
worse.
But you made me all this
when the word share
vanished from your lips and heart.
