A wedding ceremony.

Notwithstanding that wedding ceremony is over, Kone declines my request for union. She hears; but, continues to ask me to wait until all of guests are home. Eventually, there isn't a guest around.
Yet, she tunes my request off. I want to ask her insist. But, I don't want to go so low as to request for the union with words. Quietly, I do remember. My mother uses to drum it into my ears,
advising, `Do not marry a girl if she's word made flesh. For she's also a trouble made flesh. She'll not grant to you anything unless you ask for it with words !' I'm to go oral. But then, stops. I
know a thing. Words adulterate desire for sex. As an early morning Sun creeps in, it dawns on me. Those must be guests who are here to marry Kone. Over the years they perhaps don't know skill to
achieve desire for her until it'll be day we'll wed. And we'll invite guests. All the while before day of this wedding, worst still, I don't know if love that Kone has for me originates from her.
