#writhing
and now i’m drenched in desire. feral and writhing at the hand that feeds me and everyone always feeds me. there’s no use in waiting or wading in the grass yet, i still feel the blades upon my back every drop of wet wet dew caresses me and the breeze shimmers me tauntingly. now, i twist and contort at the touch of something new and it rises up in me, this new longing, this new pining. won’t you satisfy me? won’t you give me what i deserve? and i know that i will see you again under the shade of the night covered in sticky sweat and love’s delight. and until then, nothing else will satisfy me. nothing can compare. and soon, so soon, you will own my flesh and you’ll have me, rare.

the body pines
~for M. G.~ who discerned in a witty three words, my essence, perfumed~ <> we all have in our own(ed) personal debtors prison, a chained inner child asking always: Am I there yet ? sad smiling, a 'no you are not,' for to freedom day to arrive, the child must unlock the chains, no one else can be permissioned! someday he'll, rebelent, will comprehend that wishing insufficient, asking nice, once, thrice, millions can’t break the padlock, And you have to walk away from the inner child, Leave it to starve Leave it to die Leave it to be free And just a regular grown-up guy! So saddened There will be no return There will be no funeral No keepsake memories For the keeping No capital letters Just a path Large yellow arrow pointing This a way Bluntly and without fuss, un accompanied by any special invitation, You leave behind the writhing child plodding forward, Slightly offkilter, slightly off balance, But no longer writhing, Just drifting from the course, Ever so slightly Which is drama plenty, But there is no morning mourning for the child left behind

My Writhing Child
She comes in waves. In vibration, pulsating; In a silken grave. Writhing, in pain and in pleasure; Gyrations, a grind of leisure. Bucking in the saddle; Riding hard, and giving pressure. On the range, right at home; One who meets the measure

Guava
I was there when he broke your heart, Like a savage,tore it into tiny parts, A bit here, a bit there, Scattered into shards everywhere. I saw you  bleeding with sorrow, As if there was no tomorrow. I am sorry I could not help you heal your wounds, For I  had not come around, I  too, was bleeding, In pain writhing, He had left me too, In pieces I am still unable to sew.

"P"
I want it to be like you're in the guestroom like we had a "guestroom" or second restroom but the focus then is on earning potential on gain on capital instead of the lie still stuck in your throat. I smell it: your gullet... the living room is rancid with it.. the rot still lingering on the barely shod curtain rod. My senses have no room and the anger is in my tongue and fists and I am writhing and punching SCREAMING and you... are finally leaving.
