Kneading You

Kneading you - again and anon
Prodding and plying your defenses
With friction, lubricant and pressure
Wistful to compel your falling listless
A sort of Raggedy Ann embracing Valium

"The other side - please"
Again it's a left-brain treatment
Mercy seat of torque and tension
Resides beside yesterday's resentments
A major source of a minor irritation

I'm jealous then - that these knots
Snuggling around about you like a noose
Have attached themselves so much closer to you
Than I am - from where I've set myself so loose
Encircling you - like a ring you can't pry off

"... as long as we both shall live"
