ANKOLI
Big Ankoli horns longer than their cow legs
How they piss shit and give milk
Sweet as your skin in the butter barn
Where the eye socket slots to the cheek bone
And papaya lips search mine
And your hip bone
How brown cows herd through the gate
With their long hungry tongues
And honey mooing
What did I lose to find you
In finding you what did I lose
Our joys sorrows weren't reflections yet
And we hid all but our hearts
How they piss shit and give milk
Sweet as your skin in the butter barn
Where the eye socket slots to the cheek bone
And papaya lips search mine
And your hip bone
How brown cows herd through the gate
With their long hungry tongues
And honey mooing
What did I lose to find you
In finding you what did I lose
Our joys sorrows weren't reflections yet
And we hid all but our hearts

I like how this poem mixes romantic atmospherics with vulgarity and gritty realism, in a first verse which feels almost like free-form word association. If I have one issue with it it's that it's a little too detached from any appreciable setting, and could do with some more concrete establishment in that area. JMHO, of course. Thank you for the read. xxx
Thanks Jack really always appreciate your opinion and your poetic sensibility - Am glad you felt that miasmic feeling of sensory merger
On location a few clues in the poem - our lovers are making out in a butter barn where cows are being milked in Ankoli region Uganda✨

there is loss in finding,
sometimes joyful & sometimes regret;
with the heart, we gain by giving...

Sensual, beastly and whipped. You hooked me with your descriptions and made me smile, then you blew me away with that last stanza. Dig the poetry, brother. It was nice to walk a few steps in your world again.
