from our clothes, our beds

Love does not arrive in a sweat-fuck. Love
arrives in empty beds, all passion’s boast
and self-praise scares it. Lemon and olive
trees bloom, spring has arrived in Gyumri, ghost
city of my soul. Love, we are apart:
parted from our clothes, our beds are empty.
You sit naked by the window. I start
writing lines, stop. My love and the city
I love are far away. We are older
now, no less bolder. You at the peephole
watching me bathe. Love was there and passion
was our birth-right. Never forget, lover,
all our sweat-fucks: that you swallowed me whole,
and I ruptured, an earth-god’s carnation.

love spilling

note: in Hinduism Durga is a form of the supreme goddess
Devi. as an embodiment of female power Durga appears
as fearless, never losing her sense of humor, even during
raging battles of epic proportion.
Lush, lush wild woman: a name, a hot stone,
a god-thing pulled from the earth. Clits and tits,
lemon’s bright light, the rain of a cyclone.
You have a name. The myth of girl bandits,
the heft of spears, the blood under your nails.
Even Durga enjoyed a good hard fuck
now and then. Girly males, manly females,
genderless gods, the mad and the moonstuck,
all this love spilling from my burnt-out heart.
Be my door to a dark, concealed tunnel.
Lead me to the scent of the world, the art
of rage and fear. My brutal sexual
beastie. No guilt. No excuses. No shame.
Just: “say my name, cock sucker, say my name!”

shaman’s trip

Wide shine coming from you standing open
in the window. Now, a damn breaking, rich
reeking with the end of winter, molten
weight of loam dripping. The smell of spinach,
hot shaved copper, all finger lickin’ good.
Pull the curtains. A damn. A curse. The door
behind you shuts. This lust around us. Should
pharaohs, ancient fuckers, need one more whore
like me, then I’ll go. I’ll do anything
for you. This affair, these lamentations,
libations, our bodies, earth full fucking.
Leave your body, come in me, a shaman’s
trip, sweet burnt offerings. I’m your Holy-
Holy with you screaming “god, cum in me!”

Lordy, I’m getting up in years but mama

ain’t too old to shift her gears” — Ida Cox.

It’s sort of a fetish with me. Your ass
in fishnets; I’ve always had a thing for
older women in fishnets, their hourglass
lips, ball-breaking boots. Out on the dreamfloor
of our bedroom someone stands up. Someone
begins calling me home. Home is hardcore,
ancient and changing. I love your shaven
lips and your whiskey hip voice. I love your
smile while you’re gagging me down, while bending
down in that skirt. You’re somebody’s mother.
Tonguing your two cheeks apart, those two thigh
pillows. That letter from mama, calling:
come home child, before I die, the letter
from her, I die, I – come before I die.

Tonight I want you dull and bestial;
honey mammals on all fours. do not think
while I reach around you for a nipple
or grab your hips to lean forward and drink
in your flesh scent, kiss the back of your skull.
grovel on your hands and knees while I press
in slow. yes, the wicked and the sacral
all know these muddy blues, too. hiss out, “yes,
baby, yes.” hiss out nasty, delightful
things. this ghost broth is what rude boys, sassy
girls all speak about. mad delirium.
let us go beyond words. take our push-pull,
push-pull to a sweat fuck that cannot be
captured, written down, put in a poem.

with pollen, with sap

Orchid. I shall call you Orchid. Call me
your fat bumble bee and I will suck dry
your wet parted lips. Call me your oak tree.
Let your hungry mistletoe feed on my
wild sap. Let it dribble across your thigh,
down your chin, all over. The French call this
Soixante Neuf; numbers and all they imply.
You were never good at math; but to kiss
and suck and swallow? Even an orchid
knows to open up for pollen. Even
an oak will bend in the wind. Let us lay
side by side. Let us drink from pure liquid
delight. Let us spend all day, with pollen
and with sap, at what others call foreplay.

Ghost of Yu Luo Sha shakes her mane of hair,
dandruff everywhere, sits by the bedside
and grinds. We think the dead are unaware
of their genitals, but this is The Bride
with White Hair – at night she returns, touches
former lovers, cat-like, raises one leg,
lowers her hips onto upturned faces.
“Tongue out, love,” she whispers. Look, do not beg
that the soul is dull; as if ghosts don’t seize
every chance to watch you undress at night
or the dead, now pregnancies, S.T.D.s
are not a threat, do not use their birthright
for bliss. Yu Luo Sha, hair loosed, knees up, dress
ripped off, grinds. This is what the dead possess.

tensed, a girl

Tensed, a girl in a Kyoto public
bath felt her sphincter contract, a hot jet
pulsating from a hand-held Aqua Pick
on her clitoris. Her marionette’s
legs giving way, just as once on a whim
she took a boy to her old neighborhood
temple; Aizen Myo-O’s shrine, Shinto’s grim
god of wicked sex. It felt awfully good
to be dazed as he kissed each nipple; dumbstruck
as he licked his way to her crotch, pulling
down her ‘Hello Kitty’ undies to suck
her clit right into his mouth. The hot sting
from the shower, mist on her legs, the leer
of the god, the smear on his chin, the smear.

nothing rooted

There is salt on my lips. I love that salt.
I am in love with all far-seen places.
All that rooted — red woods, sea beds, asphalt,
teeth — makes me happy. All the past, pieces
no one can recall, fascinates me. Why?
Why would we look back? Our love and hatred
all lost, a root pulled free, a flowing sky
going nowhere. Because nothing rooted
lasts and we love to root. I love the past
tense and its lies that says we have survived.
I love that you still think your memory
is your own. Kiss this salt off. What can last
beyond now? Nothing. Kiss me here. Deprived
of past. Rootless child, odd skylark. Kiss me.

chaos in the flesh

Often the body acts like an engine,
or if not an engine at least chaos
in flesh. All this bloodroot, all this brazen
passion boiling over, seeping across
our palms, between our fingers, down brute wrists.
Chaos in flesh. Why talk about pain? loss?
shame? Let us have rendezvous, affairs, trysts
today. I will call you Boss Eros, Boss
Venus. In your boots come calling. Let me
seek a slit in your denim. Let me come
to warm flesh, then curls. Let me find sticky
what I hope. Let me grope. Until your numb
flesh curls. Buckles. Spurting volcanic fur.
