ANTLER

 

 

Hearing a Deaf Boy’s Orgasmcries

 

Giving a blowjob to a deaf boy

and hearing his comecries

he can never hear,

How different they are from comecries

of boys who can hear

and have heard them,

But a boy-deaf-since birth's orgasmcries

from a really exceptional blowjob

are special,

Special as the look in a blind boy's eyes

when he comes

from his first fellatio,

Special as a blind boy who can never see a cock

or see it spurt

tenderly jacking off a boy

Who can see, who watches

the blind boy's eyes

when he comes.
