That Tree
that tree up ahead--
its many smooth-barked
trunks sinuous and
welcoming like
legs outspread
In Worship
you bow your head
in worship
your tongue is slow
I think I can feel every tastebud
gradually my radiating thoughts
consense into simple rhythm
stir--spasm--stir--spasm
simultaneously now
you shake the laughter up out of my belly
Lust
Lust devours trees
lays low mountains
breaks bones
ties knots of steel
Lust does not ask first
for your consent
Lust laughs
as you writhe
and duck her blows
Lust dreams
but never quietly
