Decisions are all taken, and I'm now manoeuvering
to move in a positive direction, hoping to find
the kindest (and friendliest) possible exit that I can,
from this man's amorous concern to remain my tutor.
The fruitful vistas have all been explored, (exhausted
from source,) so I now discern but tangled growth
where I'm loath to enter. I'll stick to the simpler life
of a wife and children, as the formula intended for adoption.
Copulatory guilt never marred the occasional
days when he sought my company. But that's of the past!
At last the cleansing embrace of a woman's arms
disarms the terror accumulating in my psyche.
I'm purged of love's perversion, ill-defined,
and back in fellowship with humankind.
