spectre of neverwas


don’t overanalyze it, it’s easy to figure.
there are only two possibilities:
she’ll be in your bed or you’ll sleep alone.

I chase those butterfly dreams with only my cro-magnon
hands to entrap them, till they fade like echoes in the
sinister dark. I am the wolf that howls in the night, & I
wait, I wait for the rain.

my heart lusts for the beauty of art, which for me is the
feral flesh of a woman, naked & raw. come to me aroused
& without veils.

if you desire it, I will bind your wrists behind you with silk cords;
legs spread & ankles bound to the bedposts. face down in the
sheets, so you don’t have to look at the rage in my elliptic eyes.

I can hear your wicked pleas: ‘use me as the barbarian uses the
terrified village girl. impale me with the dragon’s phallus, until
all I can do is scream out my bliss & my agony!’

…when we have kissed our last kiss, & shed our last tear, I will
hold you for all the moments that we are given, as the stars
burn into obliqueness.

and so, when the final curtain is drawn on our one-act lullaby,
there will be love & orgasms.   or there will be loneliness &
broken hearts.

but whatever happens, it will be versed on a tear-stained page  –

everything ends in poetry…
