Pushed away: Larkspur
“I want them badly right up until I've had them.”
It pursues sexual contact at volume and with real appetite, and the appetite is bound up with contempt, so the wanting collapses the moment the other person becomes an actual person with a claim. A severely patriarchal household, or a mother who took the person's life in a direction of her own choosing, established the female as something to be overcome rather than met, and conquest is the only form of contact that arrangement permits. What it asks for is to stay in one connection past the point where the appetite drops.
It echoes Don Juan, who kept a list, who wanted every one of them entirely and none of them the following morning, and who could not be stopped by any argument that treated the women as real. The form implies a task: to stay for one morning.
