Image for the poem of sudden desire

of sudden desire


we fucked.  because my passion is overwhelming
         because her devotion is absolute.

we fucked.  it is the primal urge, the first rapture.
if there was a Garden in Mesopotamia,
a man was created, & he was given a woman;
when they fucked, only then did it become Paradise.
before there was love, there was sexual union.
it joins us to the animals.

we fucked.  the word itself is coarse & cruel.
it’s denied to the sensitivities of poetry & art;
if it’s used there, it’s labeled extreme, & banned.
we are ascended when we have it
and tormented when we do not.

we fucked.  we are in a lonely place,
she & I, where no one can find us.
we touched; we kissed. we held each other with
extraordinary surrender  –
and fucking emerged out of all that is beautiful.

we fucked.  of all the glory in heaven
         so much was never given.


you are Tereska & I am John.  we fucked…


(Art: Jean Agelou)
