| Private Lessons You asked me into your office after school, said I needed help with the bass drum. It should be ba boom boom BOOM, you said, with the big finale. One arm snaked around mine, grasped my hand, wrapped around the striker. One hand clenched my hip, locking me tight. Your arm moved, hips swiveled. We tapped the skin head with the mallet. The keys in your front pocket scraped me. Hard metal pressed my back as you moved the drumstick, pivoting in our hands. You bent your knees, lowering yourself to my height. The hand on my hip tightened, pulled me nearer, closer. Ba boom boom BOOM you said, hips bobbing, grinding, pushing me. Ba boom boom BOOM ba boom boom BOOM the tight skin hums. Sound bounces, enveloping us, as you quake to the music. Published Spring 05 in Red Weather magazine. |
