Midnight sweetly suck soft peaks hard ridges
a cute twitching ear. Clandestine, candle-

less acts each panting partner’s pubic fuzz
old-growth jungle in darkness the cruel

sticky fun things that we who in stillness,
nocturnal fragrance, tongues in the sun, gag

down our dear flora moon’s rootbound tresses.
Holding captive junk, black ink, midnight skag,

eyelids close — our hats tipped forward, low slung
guns, or pecs or whatever you call it.

Just think: I will never sleep with you, you’ll
never know such love, or taste such a tongue.

And yet you go on — thinking all this shit
is good. And it is. It is just awful.

venus that drips

Where do the dead — all the sleepless — belong?
This dark world swollen with song. Their throats singed,

bellies bloated, eyes milk; what do they long
for? Was it the bitter tune that unhinged

them? What strains hard at the leash? What chomps down
at the bit? What, indeed, bawls through the mist?

Something wicked. Ignition and meltdown.
Toes curled. Well greased. No stifled screams. Hips twist.

Jaws lock. A web of spit between their lips
and a slither of light between their thighs,

since the garden was empty. It was night.
Twitch the curtains apart. Venus that drips.

Luna, there is nothing in your moonrise.
Nothing but song that I heard by moonlight.

the erotic key

“Started with a kiss,” you wrote, “this winter
of change and debauchery,” which, sadly,

more of us don’t get to write; the writer
being more repressed than most warm bodies.

Still, Sir Francis Varney and Carmilla
were born from the fear of carnal knowledge

and so were you. Yes, hashish and vodka
blur lines. Yes, there is a vulgar language

even the most repressed can speak, even
you; when the winter wind sings a welcome

at the door and pine wood burns in the fire.
Still, if I’m the erotic key, you shun

me; sex-mad puritan. If I’m freedom,
you fear me; one more blood-phobic vampire.

the sick art

The time has come to tell tales of the dead.
Strictly speaking, terror is rational

fear, fear of what is known; horror, instead,
is fear of all that is irrational.

The night versus the day. Dionysus
versus Apollo. But the erotic

world has no such separations; lewdness
is just what we make it. I know the sick

art to make you flood; the soft seduction.
A slick, sultry mouthful; these are queer tastes.

Do you care? Day or night? Crude or sublime?
Rational? Irrational? Moon or sun?

Living or dead? When your dam bursts
I will drown, going down for the third time.

“they can only do harm” — depeche mode

][][

Please let there be no sexting, no naked
photos of me out there; the things I’ve sent

over the aether, the whether, the flood
of cocks and cunts — thousands of indecent

problematic photos —- gwads all the wads
and spume and pleasure from which comes all this

photography. Call it “selfies.” Gods
know we earned it; we who don’t dismiss bliss;

honest pleasance; this rude thrill of others
watching what we do. Because you watch. You

do. You fuckers, and I mean that in all
truth. We’re the ones who slide our tongue on slurs,

foreskins, clits, Christian folly, honeydew
rhyme; we’re the saints who fuck in saviors’ hell.

If we forget this kindness in winter
that is fine for it still remains. Springtime

persists. The new moon bulbs rise, no longer
held down by the mayhem of the night. Slime,

pulp and blood of a different kind birth;
the realm where there is no mercy. Nothing

can be reborn at this depth. With no earth
or prayer; where do the souls of those drowning

alone at sea go? Who will call for them?
Who will remember? These seasons, solstice,

new moons fix nothing. Love, where do you lie?
I will find you, raise you from this mayhem,

little fish, stillborn — — It was no kindness
when the sea washed clean your death-clouded eyes.

a dirty thing

if the river calls me

if the river calls me

It was that rancid smell that made me drive
her off. Damn! What a foul stench! Of course she

fought and cried. Of course. How would she survive
on her own? Who would take in a dirty

thing like her? No one, I am sure. That smell
of hers just wouldn’t wash off. No. Call me

a beast, if you will. Say that there’s a hell
for bad parents who desert their needy

children. I’m sure there is but I don’t care.
What was I going to do with her? Me!

I am no believer in myths. A prayer
only works if someone hears it and we

are deaf. Abandoned down by the river;
she is human now, a fox no longer.

talented cocksuckers

Tasting my sex. I want sweat to drip. Eyes
rolled back in your skull. Come large. Come erect.

Come rub it. Come touch it. Come eat it. Sighs
and drawls speak in crazy tongues. You have wrecked

me for anyone else. When I say, “don’t
bite me,” I know that you will. When I say,

“don’t waste even a drop,” I know you won’t.
Impaled mouth. Hollow cheeks. Until I spray

blessings down your throat, you keep your eyes shut.
There are many talented cocksuckers

in this world, but out of all I chose you
because you’re mad and bad and you don’t slut

shame. I come each time I hear that sinner’s
voice on the phone say, “Come and get it, boo.”
