Slick-back Knuckles bare and callous Fingertips equally tough From plucking Gut-spun thread Lips chapped Blowdried by merit Of ***** habit Whose stench clings At the pit of my stomach And pulls me to his An intimate tango tinged With notes of oud tucked betwixt A soft bed of sweat and boot-cleaner Smiles stolen from Molly Scattered upon plastic sheets Egyptian cotton, soiled Polyester tees Denim cut offs On loan from Daisy Your bolo tie hanging Tapping at my chin— Eros sting— With each incoming swing: Lute-stringed; hair-pricked, Greased-up pig, Play a tune with my skin And a lethal codetta For you— I’ll sing!

Oil Change Duet
Slick-back Knuckles bare and callous Fingertips equally tough From plucking Gut-spun thread Lips chapped Blowdried by merit Of ***** habit Whose stench clings At the pit of my stomach And pulls me to his An intimate tango tinged With notes of oud tucked betwixt A soft bed of sweat and boot-cleaner Smiles stolen from Molly Scattered upon plastic sheets Egyptian cotton, soiled Polyester tees Denim cut offs On loan from Daisy Your bolo tie hanging Tapping at my chin— Eros sting— With each incoming swing: Lute-stringed; hair-pricked, Greased-up pig, Play a tune with my skin And a lethal codetta For you— I’ll sing!
