Blood tastes the same, I found, pressing my lips

first to one stump … then the other. Brackish

tart. Sour iron. Licking her breasts, her hips,

her chin. When it came to combing the fish

and crabs out of her hair I said my prayer,

the whole reason I came. If you can’t do

this, they said, who can? So I came, harbor

master. I came. You still call this taboo

because you lack faith. I call it the bone

crushing depth of the sea. I call it home.

I, whose blood tastes nothing like yours. I call

and call. On the shore. In the crash and moan

of the surf. I’ll lick your stumps clean. I’ll comb

drown your hair. I’ll down with my dead man’s crawl.

They let the Scurrilous Child imagine …

but they’re all ghastly teachers. Not one graced

with the Lore of the Flesh. Ours: a Common

Pornography. I’m down with the Unchaste-

to-be, with Alien tremors. Hints start

like this. Phantom limbs waiting to be bit

away. Scars prenatal, biding time. Tart

horrors of muscle: in spring they’ll commit.

Trust me: your sex life will be the, “dark times,”

that Brecht warned of. Like mine. Like all of ours.

You just don’t feel it, yet. Go dream about

future fucks; go search for wise pastimes

sublime, as wise as your love without scars.

I’m not here to tease, love, just to sow doubt.

conversations with imaginary sisters, erotic poetry, pearl's grave eye, poem, saint sloane's burn, salt burn, sea foam and ache, sonnet

A fig cored in the fog’s nest. Sea kelp curls;

pubes with the long voice of water. Your thigh

marked with bruises. Drawn in the sea, the pearl’s

grave eye, in the tip of my tongue. Pinkeye

and cum, suncocked salt water down your throat

until you cough. Spew. Sex affects, you think,

what it touches. Salt stained bloat. Horny goat

weed cast adrift. Such spindrift of your pink

and plum channel wall. All this bliss, you turn

key, you corkscrew, must be out there. Glamour

like the tide. Neither age nor money nor

time shall dampen a good soak. Saint Sloane’s Burn.

You think. You thunk. Before, when you’re older,

salt glass, triton’s tidal fuck, and less sure.

erotic poetry, malice bounces, poem, Poetry, queer kitsch, sonnet

Seven Seas. Seven Days. Seven Heavens.

Seven Circles. This is how you put Witch

back in Twitch. Ghost of hymens and omens.

You’ve found 5 of my wantons with queer kitsch

magic: my nipples rise to meet your tongue.

Unrest under cottons, Underoos, pink’s

stink of sweat. Rich la Dolce Vita wrung

young … or not. Of my 7 Slits, my links

back to flesh, five have yet to be cut … but

you knew this, cutty snark. I wouldn’t trust

Das Blade to just anyone. Malice bounces –

Et tu, gluteus? – “In a butt made to strut;”

the first rhyme you ever taught me. You thrust

fast. I? Flesh bloomed; came in Seven Twitches.

erotic poetry, poem, Poetry, quote unquote, sonnet, whipsawed

On the subway, splattered, your dastardly

dream-turned-shower, shed as a badge of hard

car-knocks, all keepsakes of nastiness. Tree,

for the taking. Sap queen. I go marred bard

when I whine. O lured god, green ya twee boss

hewed. Pallid. Heed, as in, heed my prayer for

– rancor splotches? – all cooed quivered across

your face? Flushed a canvas like flesh you gore

my cum wryly. My thrust into the ankh

rusk of dusk; dripping down your chin. Such crust

spotting car-knickers; an unclean and odd

godly. Less swank and prank, more filthstank, rank

as in – Indeed. My mussed thrust. My trussed

bonedust gone g’na’d. Roughshod, little god.

][][

note.

As personal puns no one else will get “g’na’d'” is from the Armenian word for go, “g’na,” (գնա/ guh-naw), which I then put in English past tense (‘d) because apparently this is something I do.

erotic poetry, lurid details, pleasure is our birthright, poem, Poetry, sonnet

Ugh! such rude growth, you think; off the photos

that I should’ve never sent. Indulged cheek bulge.

Chuffed to bits. Soft sick’s jaw stretch. Some wino’s

tale. Not yours. The creed, “OV-er-IN-du-LGE,”

rolls like a muddied drop over and not

out of Bowery’s lips and yet dewy’s mud

and yet sweetly’s immature; a sot’s sot.

Fifty-five in ten days. All the lurid

details. Matted. Fatted. As in the Calf.

Decaf. Now regular. Impaled then crushed

against the wall. Make it gross. Cum like staph,

like snot, like cooties. Make it cute. What gushed

red soft? Sick soft. Retch. Recoil. And we spew.

Again. Warming to a crimson Code Blue.

erotic poetry, grave's end, Lord Byron, poem, Poetry, quote unquote, sea foam and ache, sonnet, unchaste

“Till taught by pain, men know not water’s worth” ~ Lord Byron.

To hear that far-off rumble, that faint praise

mixed in with the boom-dread of the breaking

waves. To half halt in doubt; there shall always

be doubt. Praise, as in lament, rumbling

in the wet sand. Doubt shall be my grave’s end.

Doubt and this throaty and forbidding maw

that you call the surf. To enter. To transcend.

To be sucked away. Blowjobs and lockjaw.

Spasms junoesque. Unchaste. Pungent. Cum

lost on the surge. All the things I’ve done mean

nothing. Stings of indifference. The sea rose

does not care even as I grow hard and numb.

I love laments that are crude and obscene;

like a note found in my abandoned clothes.

aunt in haunt, Eros' virus, hungry ghosts, poem, Poetry, quote unquote, sonnet

Urban legend says: You can tell which Aunts

are real Hungry Ghosts since they wait for you

after school to walk you home. Such romance,

if that’s the term, boggled me. All I knew

was that her garage smelled of hootch, roach spray

and sage. Sometimes her husband would come home

and shout. She was a Ghost because one day

she was gone. All that summer I would roam

near by, to lure her out with the promise

of boy flesh but such flesh is everywhere.

Urban legend says: the sick kids she takes

become Ghosts themselves: Eros’ virus …

which is why I’ll starve, I answer in prayer,

rather than bequeath you plagues that ache.

roast

erotic poetry, poem, Poetry, roast, sallow hibernation, sonnet, winter is rough

Bamboo snapping in the dark. Waking from

winter drowse, dinner of fat shaft death cap

shrooms, to a new weight: a calm, a maelstrom

of ice. The creaking night comes with a slap,

a groan, as if frost would freeze sperm in mid

flight, such stiffness in the air, such sallow

hibernation. Night blows through you, forbids

you heat as the hearth fire dies. Gods send snow

without sleep. Cracks in the ice. Cracks that spew

a chill roast. Cracks that nip you back to bed

with the Dark: polar, hungry, death-dealing

wrong. Dark simply wants, so unlike bamboo

or you: first I bring you awe, then deep dread,

then you cum in the cold, bones shattering.

dearth

dearth, hungry ghost, poem, Poetry, sonnet, wraith's wrath

Without the nightgown that slips down, to pool

around the feet, mere inches from the wraith

full of wrath that lurks under the bed; cruel,

the way that all lust that festers, all faith

that falls fallow, ignored, is cruel. Without

veils there’s nothing an abomination

can cling to. We are all creatures of doubt,

hunger, love, begging for release. Just one

more dust bunny lost in the gloom. Make me

real. Fear drives the faithful, lust the lover,

death the poet. I’m all three. Make me real

so I’ll burn, I’ll burn nightmarish, lewdly.

If I’m dearth, if you’re the end to hunger,

then this will take the wrath out of wraithful.

][][

Note:

It’s one thing to write about hungry ghosts, another to wake one day and find, before your time, that you’ve become one, all ravenous Id.
