To Sate a Pole

She lives in a dark place,
All of the time it takes to sate a pole.
(No silly! Not the flesh and blood!)

Her shoes are meant for ballerinas-
But the only dancing she can do in them involves legs spread-
WIDE.

His eyes follow her,
More binding than anything she wears.
She forgets that there used to be a time when it wasn't important-
When she didn't balance at the edge of a whip for money (love).

Wanting and Needing are the same word-
Desire and Possess equally so.
How could she know better?
She lives in a dark place,
Trying hard to sate a pole.

      (Not author but browsing) Sate means to satisfy or placate a desire, if there is no alternative meaning that is.
