down with flu


Yesterday
i'd resolved to finish the poem: your mouth
a swollen ripe pomegranate, the recoil
of your nipples on my tongue, the thick
grassy smell that fogs over your skin. each line
a metaphorically chosen rhyme
to tell you i burn, even
when i am not with you.

Today
i am teary, (and not
from falling in your eyes) - i have
a fever, and all i want is to
set my muzzle on your thighs like
a lovelorn dog. you noticed i could write?
i have gained a yearning that is stronger.

it's a well known fact people get horny either when they're ill or at funerals. the fear of mortality leads to the desire to procreate.

on a non factual note, it's a good poem....

Brown Weed said...

actually, it's not Erotica in that sense - it's about two aspects to longing for the same person; passionate longing and compassionate longing. and how i could finally write only when i was overcome by the later.
