Recitation


Crouched on her knees, her sacrum
Opens up like a book
A firm, concave flatness
Rippling with taut tendons underneath
That’s strangely capped with a tapering tailbone
Primate, eh?

My fingers run up the furrows
On either side of her spine
To just under the bulge of her skull
Covering the primal, reptilian part of her brain
That translates for her moving shadows
Into the darkest fears
(Her frontal lobes, the thinking part,
are buried in a pillow)

May I place a thick register of litanies
On her unfolded back
And breathlessly recite
While I plunge fast & furious
Into her wetness
Which drips on to my thighs?

I love you for your mind
Long legs
And how your firm breasts
Are so unlike
The soft hollow of your tummy

As I once saw in a porn movie
Like King Cobra I gyrate my hips
My fingers find their way to places
I was taught about long ago

But frankly, you can’t see
That I’m bored
While stiff and thrusting
I’m just waiting for you
To shiver and shudder
While I clench my teeth

Now, sweetheart, our relationship
Is fucked
While you come in spasms
I know… just know that
Later, you’ll look at me strangely
Dismiss me as
A domineering brute
With no fine feelings
Who is oh so smart
But thinks with his dick!

And our quarrels, arguments
Will again
End us up in bed!
