Uit: Coming of the Night

“He was usually alone. By choice. Sure he had friends, lots of them, lots of invitations to parties, but that often put him in a bad situation. Guys he was not attracted to were attracted to him. Those he did have sex with wanted to get together again, and he preferred variety.
There was another reason for his choice to be a loner. He didn’t want guys he went with to know more about him than they needed to know, and that was that he was hot. All he required of his sex partners was that they be lusty-he liked that word-and want what he wanted.
Existing only as you appeared to be-that was another great thing possible in the gay world of cruising. You didn’t have to waste time talking, except to make arrangements about getting together. He loved being a terrific fantasy figure. So why mix things up with identities that didn’t matter? Yes, he’d figured life out-gay life, there was no other.
Jesse welcomed the perspiration that had moistened his shorts and outlined his cock-and especially, he knew as he stood, his buttocks, indenting the crack. He touched himself there and closed his eyes-imagining.
He forced himself not to think now about tonight. He didn’t want to ruin his plan by getting too aroused alone. That would be a waste. Ugh.
What had triggered this huge desire?
It wasn’t unusual for him to feel horny, especially on weekends. Had his plan originated last weekend when he met two hunky guys and went home with them? He had been fucked by both, several times. They took turns entering him, assuming a wonderful rhythm, a couple of thrusts, and then it was the other’s turn for a few more thrusts. There had been hardly a moment that he didn’t have a cock in him, and the brief seconds without added even more sensation when they ended. The two guys had lain back, prone, face up, legs spread, butt against butt, cocks pressed together to form one doubled erection, and he’d lowered himself over it, tantalizing the two guys into believing he would attempt to take them both into him-and he thought about it-but he just remained there, two straining cock-heads quivering at his ass, titillating the downy hairs there. He pushed himself into one of the cocks and then immediately into the other and both guys came in him-wow!-but when he left their house, he felt lustier-and went with another guy and kept wishing for two.”

Uit: Le Cri du sablier

“Le jeu du Mémory l’enfant le détestait car plus elle excellait à regrouper les paires plus elle savait sourdine que s’imprimerait en elle à jamais le regard terrible du géniteur. Aussi. Elle détestait la mère de s’acharner toujours à lui rendre mémoire perfectible et sans fond. Un jour elle serait grande jamais elle n’oublierait jamais elle ne pourrait javelliser souvenirs détacher à grande eau combien même lacrymale la rage et la fureur du père si trop puissant. Quand elle laissait hasard ses petits doigts courirsur les carrés dos bleu et que se découvraient les complices à la pioche que la mère disait oui et parfois même très bien, l’enfant sentait la presse encre tiède jus épais rouler son cervelas fines tranches à la boucherie. Papa fixé en elle papa fixé en moi à la tendre amnésie se dérober chaque jour application véreuse du dressage maternel. Combien même bien plus tard incantations si vaines scotomise ma chérie suppliait-elle alors refermant paumes rougies genoux d’adolescente. Combien même bien plus tard. L’icône resplendira résistante sous l’éponge impossible à passer. Le père est minéral trauma sédimentaire le sable dans les souliers se cache à la semelle c’est un fait bien connu des enfants du limon.”

A Confession

Dear little boy, with wondering eyes
That for the light of knowledge yearn,
Who have such faith that I am wise
And know the things that you would learn.
Though oft I shake my head and smile
To hear your childish questions flow,
I must not meet your faith with guile;
I cannot tell, I do not know.

Dear little boy with eager heart,
Forever on the quest of truth,
Your riddles oft are past my art
To answer to your tender youth.
But some day you will understand
The things that now I cannot say,
When life shall take you by the hand
And lead you on its wondrous way.

Dear little boy with hand in mine,
Together through the world we fare,
Where much that I would fain divine
I have not yet the strength to bear.
Like you with riddling words I ask,
Like you I hold another hand,
And haply when I do my task,
I, too, shall understand
