And mud swallows with throats that twist and wings
that beat and on their sung song the summer
follows and in the summer life is good.
Pilgrims from far isles see where out west
the larks mark holy spots and call them blessed.
I would never be a pilgrim. Priesthood
gives no salvation. I am a sinner
gratefully. Flesh is sacred. We’re sucklings,
 
fucklings, bullgods at stud, oak dappled all.
Swallows or spits, inhale antique weed. Dark
with eyes and gold with hair slam back blackball
whiskey. High it may be that the skylark
sings for us. There is not else save a shy
wee thing turning in the brightening why.

Because she fed me on her flock’s goat milk.
Because I watched her squeeze each mud splattered
teat dry. Because the winds lifted her silk
from her shoulders. Because I leaned forward
and cupped her breasts in child-like hands. Because
I felt the dazzlement of her nipples,
sudden gemstones. Because she did not pause
at her work, just smiled. Because my muscles
tightened, stiffened, hardened. Because I did
not love her. Because I did. Because my
hands, all vulture, caught a flame, my skin peeled
back when she daubed milk on my lips, then slid
fingers over my mouth, tummy, cock, thigh,
and so I burst in her mouth as she kneeled.

On my thirteenth summer Astghik found me.
The cave had become foul. Scraps of blue bear
and dove, dropped, half chewed. She took me, dirty
half-cub, down into the sunlit fields where
I learned all the stories of her silent
mother’s people. There were The Beginnings:
the names of the Goddess and her descent
to the Underworld. There were The Meanings:
all Her trees. All the nameable creatures
and all that was not. I grew. During this
Astghik fed me on goat milk, her nightdress
hanging loose. Caress. Soon my new mother’s
foundling could not wait for each new smell, kiss,
touch. Soon all I wanted was her caress.

“Myth says Dionysus was sown up in Zeus’ thigh
while Athena burst from his head.”

He lied. Today is your thirteenth birthday.
Today I’ll tell you who you are, Daughter
of the Thigh. Some say you were sea-born. They
claim they saw. But how could they? My nightmare
child, you are not mine. He was a liar.
He came in my sleep, in dream. He pulled you
out of me. Like so, sewed you up, an hour
of work, into his thigh. An old god, who
was one hung bull, this country girl’s lover.
He lied. It’s a lie to believe your birth.
Are you surprised to find out you’re a thigh
born-child? That I am neither your mother
or dead father? It all started with earth
and fire. He cut you out and made a lie.

Come. Come quicker. All in one exhale. All
in the space of a breathe. So much time with
nothing but hunger. I’m a willow, tall
and lean, but without roots. Without the myth
of roots. Come. Come quickly. I will wait, sprawl
on the bed, drunk with new hunger for you.
Drunk with risk and possibilities, all
that makes life worth the pain. I want some new
risks; give me danger. Come now. Come with speed.
Come with a shout, a whimper. Come with greed,
with want, come to me to feed your loathsome
passions, each rotten wish. Come bare, honeyed,
brilliant. Come in joy, in rage, in frenzied
need, in ecstasy. Come, love. Please, just come.

Blow out, you cocks, over the ill unchaste.
All fire can quench. You get what you deserved.
Bottled, glints in raw indigo liquor.
Let it spurt now, slap silly with lurid
pulsing spray. Bang-up globs blue as acid.
Irksome forms blurring to booted vapor.
Everything coming apart. Verved. Verved. Verved.
I blur. Apart. I cum. As in lay waste.
 
As in bits. Nothing is soften’d by love
only those crappy Troubadours and their
shitty ideas on love. Gimme foxglove.
I love poison bottled. One box’d nightmare
orgasm. Proof of what we shouldn’t wish
for, fire quench’d, and all damp flesh must perish.

ju-ju smut

Aphrodite cooking “Bamboo Spirit”
in pots, salacious in the pawpaw patch.
I the aye-aye in the lewd cage. Tattoo
Earth God’s drinking dada-cocaine, murmur
hot and heavy Bauhaus. And my vulgar
Mama’s lecherous. Metal-hard taboo.
And my Jojo’s voluptuous, shaved thatch
that is only hinting at ju-ju smut.
 
I the aye-aye, yeah. “I love the nightlife,
I got to boogie on the disco ’round.”
The gods say drop your gat-gun and flick-knife.
The gods make your body their own playground,
little shut box, morning glories fusion
open hard the drip drip of fast motion.

KINKY PIG

Men make the world old, grown cold and weary,
leaving sick whelp hearts that kink cannot change.
Half-men sing half-blues about their half-cocks
and all the little joys, wet as cyclone 

dreaming, sucked deep from yarrow-marrow bone.

My real Spanish fly, you in your dreadlocks
and I is I, a sign not there. Our strange
anthem: him a’hymn, her love drug dirty.
 
Kinky pigs have the blues before sunrise,
up in their tawny tongues. A song that longs.
Leather warthog, gutting out like one sighs
a song, cyclone that blows between the songs:

“Gimme a lovesick call. Blues before swine/

Nothing, no nothing, will ever be mine.”

chemical physics

Broken mirrors in mudslide of cocaine
in your bathroom on laundered lingerie
folded up in rows. We laugh while neon
energy swarms in our vodka, sloe gin
fizz. As in chemical physics. As in:
“pass the dutchie on the left hand side, mon.”
Blood-shot eyes, I push the neon away.
Clone dead braincase. Rupturing our membrane.

Shatter the sink’s cold edge. Grab your hourglass
hips. Pull you in. Quintesensual skin.
Wober love-in. Doing lines off your ass.
Rubbing twenty fingers across your grin.
Down your neck. Across all that is thick
and plump. Chemicals make us fun and slick.
