The Sexual Arts
Sleeping around with the museums and libraries
Ageless vitality; ever humbled by gravity
Books still … wake up to make love before breakfast
Paintings can kiss you long after you leave them
Letters, and oils, and pastels, and pencils can …
Eat your heart out and rip your soul a new one
But love, lust, and sex know the clock of bones’ bleeding…
Well pleasures to living, and dance the one mind
Jealous & envy-free; wild-joy living
And the lost and found divine cocoon of alone
Sure, it’s no womb, but its warm, wet, and waiting
For you to go come home here
End up beginnings
And age (onto time) is a memory laughing
With You! … that bright glint …
your eye’s vital-
soul blazing
You’re sexy
and that heaving … will not fade, lest you fear death
Your flesh; your loves’ bones;
your expensive life’s climax
Priceless, poor, rich; so hot; fire!
Look out!

So much passion and sensuality in your work, and what a voice, you carry the reader the entire ways on a euphonic spree of beautifully gemed work. great job
