Sunrise


I've been fucking him
in the bedroom of my mind
for about a month now
leaving the ruby red curtains wide open
but no one can see in
no one can see that every time the sun sets
he rises for me
like up-hill headlights in the fog
and the devout Catholic
hidden in me
always says grace
before she eats him

bush

you have what I am seeking
lost in the bush of your genital hair
you fly into my head
like a dove into the apse of the church
I am saved by the acetylene light of You
you make me wet
even when you aren't around
can anyone explain this?
Tonight's music is the moans of masturbation
muffled magical miraculous tones
while my parents sleep across the hall

Tango


as t
he fog lowers her shawl over the highway
giving the headlights an ethereal glow
I think of you
and ask out loud
Is it such a bad thing
to want you between my thighs?
To be overwhelmed by a need
to tango with your tongue?
and of course
there is no answer
