Image for the poem goddess of whores

goddess of whores



hang down your head, dream killer

eat the stars that stain the sanguine meadows of heaven

shanghai me – then barricade the iron gates of paradise
– drag me to hell –

waltz me across the embering coals of your brimstone
dancefloor, till my boots melt

seduce me with your lion eyes –
roar your bedroom lullabyes

you are Erycina, queen of prostitutes
pervert my obeisance with the spill of your wine
ensure my madness by the burning of entheogenic myrtle

teach me that orgasm’s meridian is epiphanized,
not in the pleasure of it,
but in the violence

love me after midnight, where the darkness anonymizes
my infamy, and my secrets are exposed
in the icy flames of mere lust

guide me by the fire in your eyes to the trine tunnels
of your tainted beauty – a trove of treasures that
any man may take – and every man will

torment my anguished heart with your boudican
lovesong  –  you goddess!  –  you whore!
