The major drawback to being so tall:
A big dick can look relatively small.
Lying in bed with a giant is weird,
especially on this twin-sized bed where
he retracts his inert form so his feet
won’t extend outside the frame. I had heard
that sleeping with a Titan’s dangerous,
that I might grow dizzy in a Russian doll
way or I might get crushed by amorous
limbs as clumsy as they are colossal.
When he curls around me deep in his dream,
I mirror his shape in miniature
while one arm traps me like a fallen beam
that blocks out the frostbite of insecure.
