song of the yellow river


she took me there, where the grasses are tall & the trees reach for
the nearest star; where the river smooths rocks into gems & the
sun’s blazing eyes turn the white waters yellow.  she took me to a
hidden place that neither the birds not the villagers knew about.

she lay down in the lush green, & her eyes misted in anticipation
of something that eluded me. I bent & kissed her, her tongue drew
me in. it was fascinating, beautiful beyond my experience & thus
foreign to me, so I stopped…

I’ve slept a long time with whores; I’ve become a man who can’t
make love in a tender way. most whores will take a fair amount of
abuse for the right price, but a whore will cut a man if he skips
beyond the safe word. I’ve seen it happen.

‘if you can’t make love to me,’ she said, ‘then do to me what you
have done to whores.’

she gave me the edge that I needed, & she would agonize for it. the
first slaps repelled her, but soon she yearned for them. the welts I
branded on her firm mounds were the searing embers of her
submissiveness. she embraced the torment even as her tears fell.

in bed, I twisted her like a ragdoll, assaulting her deliquescent
arroyo till I was fully aroused, then turning her to push brutally into
her petulant dimpled rim. I glazed her with a humiliation that made
a man a hideous thing, & she swallowed it.

she was my whore, by her own edict, & when I leave her, she’ll
find other men, & she’ll be their whore. she could wait for me in
her secret spot, in the plaintive melancholy of the yellow river,
but I won’t be back.

forgive me, baby, I took you for a hard ride. forgive me for turning
your heart into a cum-stained rag that no one will ever want.

forgive me for loving you in a way that you could never forgive…
