Anat Zecharia

LET ME BE

to simply masturbate at home
in a standard
acrobatic operation
anyone can do
because I’m not
a pervert.
Let me be
I’m not hurting
anyone
I fantasize about what
I have and not about
what’s forbidden.
Let me be
I want so much
to move my lips
searching for pleasure
between them
just give me a drum roll.

LET ME BE
