Nights with my right hand

I will hit you
but I won't hurt you.
I just want you to feel
something that I can feel - for you
to get up as I raise
my arm toward you, reach up and down - for you;

I will beat you
gently and swiftly, with and without
mercy. I am so attached to you, and
you have always been so attached to me.

With all the lights off, except one.
Turn everyone else off, and watch
them dance and convulse. Just let me
beat gently. Turn everyone else
off and turn me on.
