P-
I don’t remember your voice, but the pain from you
floats in my blood.
I keep you with me, trapped
like a venus fly trap that refuses to give up it’s victim.

It was looking to devour in the South.
A plant without nourishment.
No beauty existed, but weeds and vines surrounded it.

The time of day rejected us
I kept you close and struggled to see you.
Spring was bringing about.
The plant forced to thrive in the spring air.

Your hand balanced, with its steady heat,
the indecisive warmness of alcohol. The beauty
of your “body” brought me to new places.
My excited arose to your breasts.

Carpets, like tentacles, wriggling down to the strand,
attracted passers by to the mouth of the clamor.
With lights and curtains, above the tedium
the bedrooms murmured in the grand hotels.

There are times when our weight gives in
from our sexual intimacy.
Moments when our nakedness
destructs itself, sucking life from itself.

I searched for your touch
but love was not where I found your touch.
I felt you stroke my physical being
but there was no feeling with your hands.

I seek your soulless surrender,
for a place where I can be at peace,
yearning to hear a trace of the vendor’s voice
still wet with the glimmer of the flapping minnows.
It was looking to devour in the South.
An aroma was tainted with whiskey breath.
I will hold on to the embrace inside me
like a foreign object the flesh tried to reject.
