Accounting and building

Projector beams down as slide flips
to next slide
equations,
liabilities less assets
equal profits
the back light illuminates her in an eerie glow
as she slinks past
lilac and lavender soft
drifts on the air
a heady scent
pricks sharp on my senses
the sirens song of desire
of longing unleashed as her hand
planes the air off my skin
offers of a private tuition accepted
where
I teach her what I know of building
how to truss and tie,
how to scribe a line to fit tight
screw it hard,
she teaches me
a verbal assessment
and where to
pencil in the hardest numbers
