I. The Hard

I want so badly
to be your finger puppet.
My libido tells me so,
as the bible would say
Jesus loves me.

Undenying,
raw machismo.
I'd like to wear that pretty noose
you hold in your daring hands
around my tender neck
in a string of fresh-water pearl
vibrating warmth on my skin.


II. The Soft

(And crass as I am,
you make me feel bold.
Brass as I am
you make me feel gold.
The *** that I am
you say I'm a sweet one, at least,
that you'd hold.)
