Beholden to Behind
A thumb – intently placed on chin
caressing every freckle into a letter
that spells out a story blushing lips
that remand and remade the ending
Forefinger – smoothing the jaw
straight as lines read and re-read
he turns her over like a page
his favourite fable, every inch
a mythology of unreason.
Genteel palm – perfectly placed
on ripened white, depressing spine
into maidenly goading of docility.
Two hearts, to start – a beautiful violation

Apart from the shine of the words themselves, the aura of real intimacy glows. The second stanza is really lovely.
Damned if I know whether anal intercourse is part of this, or not, but probably not. 'violation' could suggest almost anything.
