"leg" poems
little dark girl with kind eyes when it comes time to use the knife I won't flinch and i won't blame you, as I drive along the shore alone as the palms wave, the ugly heavy palms, as the living does not arrive as the dead do not leave, i won't blame you, instead i will remember the kisses our lips raw with love and how you gave me everything you had and how I offered you what was left of me, and I will remember your small room the feel of you the light in the window your records your books our morning coffee our noons our nights our bodies spilled together sleeping the tiny flowing currents immediate and forever your leg my leg your arm my arm your smile and the warmth of you who made me laugh again. little dark girl with kind eyes you have no knife. the knife is mine and i won't use it yet.

Raw With Love
You're a one night stand But we spent too many nights I lost count of it. You're that unexpected kiss On a drunken wasted night Of vomits and ***** You're that awkward hi Exchanged by strangers who Thought they both knew each other But were clearly mistaken for another. You're the bruise that turns blue When I accidentally bump my leg On the corner of the bed. You're the scar that I never Knew I had. You're the bittersweet taste in My mouth every morning. You're the last thought lingering In my head before slumber takes me And you're the vagueness that Haunts me in my dreams. You're the scalding hot shower In a cold freezing morning. You're the boiling tea that numbs My tongue for the rest of the day. You're the obsession I will never learn to let go of. You're that person I will Never get to call mine. You're the one that got away.

You're a Metaphor
By the bus stop By the lake By the curb beside my leg In the sun Or in the rain In the cold I'm shivering in Wait wait wait wait Waiting for the falling rain In a drought has never been I am atoning for my sin Wait wait wait wait Waiting for the flowers to bloom In a winter storm has never been I am barely holding it in Wait wait wait wait For the love of god My soul to take I cannot run from my fate If it is to waste away while I wait

On Waiting
"But what if we're wrong?" It was silent But her thoughts echoed around in my head as we laid on top of her pickup truck I swatted at the eighteenth mosquito chewing on my leg I don't want this to be love We were tangled up in the acoustic music they play on the radio on Sunday mornings She was trying to dream up something clever to write about And I was pretending I could learn to play guitar through osmosis, As if blending myself in with the harmonies, finding her in every lyric, and sheer willpower would give me wings or at least magic guitar hands She set the alarm, checked it over and over She was not going to be late for her first day I told her I'd be asleep when she got home, she told me she knew I told her to wake me up I wasn't looking for perfect Perfect really only applies in first year physics courses After that, we learn to fall in love with "rough around the edges" or "unique" or "unfinished" As if their life is a puzzle that we need to complete Just so you know, it isn't She bought me breakfast and dropped me off She used to tell me she loved me, but I know she didn't She does now, so she doesn't have to say it anymore When I said, "love," before, I didn't really mean it Not like I mean loving the garden on the balcony of her apartment or thunderstorms in May Even if I was a puzzle that she completed (and I'm not saying that I am), we didn't need any glue to fit perfectly

Puzzle
Not easy to state the change you made. If I'm alive now, then I was dead, Though, like a stone, unbothered by it, Staying put according to habit. You didn't just tow me an inch, no-- Nor leave me to set my small bald eye Skyward again, without hope, of course, Of apprehending blueness, or stars. That wasn't it. I slept, say: a snake Masked among black rocks as a black rock In the white hiatus of winter-- Like my neighbors, taking no pleasure In the million perfectly-chisled Cheeks alighting each moment to melt My cheeks of basalt. They turned to tears, Angels weeping over dull natures, But didn't convince me. Those tears froze. Each dead head had a visor of ice. And I slept on like a bent finger. The first thing I was was sheer air And the locked drops rising in dew Limpid as spirits. Many stones lay Dense and expressionless round about. I didn't know what to make of it. I shone, mice-scaled, and unfolded To pour myself out like a fluid Among bird feet and the stems of plants. I wasn't fooled. I knew you at once. Tree and stone glittered, without shadows. My finger-length grew lucent as glass. I started to bud like a March twig: An arm and a leg, and arm, a leg. From stone to cloud, so I ascended. Now I resemble a sort of god Floating through the air in my soul-shift Pure as a pane of ice. It's a gift.

Anxiety
You have me bewitched...weaved around some magic wicked spell It's like my body is mine no more You have brought this woman out of her shell How did you know where to find me How did you know you could do this to me How did you know control would be relinquished so easily You are *** in every breath, every beat, and every motion You are all of this and more without commitment and void of any emotion You are a fire within my wondrous sea A great burning rush that consumes me The silky flick and swirl of your tongue on my flesh Has brought me this intense current of desire Your touch has magnified all my senses in a warm liquid fire Your lips are soft and searing on the inside of my thighs Your ******** a teasing length on my leg waiting to comply Gasping... my lips are licked and bit in a wordless plea for more As you start exploring and teasing my throbbing aching core My thighs are now split on both sides of your hips My breast in your mouth caught between your teeth and your lips Our bodies melded together..heated skin on skin Do not know where your limbs end and mine begin To be desired by you is such a gift beyond measure The submissive in me aiming to please and always give you pleasure

he drank wine all night of the 28th, and he kept thinking of her: the way she walked and talked and loved the way she told him things that seemed true but were not, and he knew the color of each of her dresses and her shoes-he knew the stock and curve of each heel as well as the leg shaped by it. and she was out again and whe he came home,and she'd come back with that special stink again, and she did she came in at 3 a.m in the morning filthy like a dung eating swine and he took out a butchers knife and she screamed backing into the roominghouse wall still pretty somehow in spite of love's reek and he finished the glass of wine. that yellow dress his favorite and she screamed again. and he took up the knife and unhooked his belt and tore away the cloth before her and cut off his ***** and carried them in his hands like apricots and flushed them down the toilet bowl and she kept screaming as the room became red GOD O GOD! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? and he sat there holding 3 towels between his legs no caring now wether she lft or stayed wore yellow or green or anything at all. and one hand holding and one hand lifting he poured another wine

Tell me I'm not this. The blue began to flood inside a room once painted black. Tell me I don't see this. The orb of morning peering its start right to my eyelids that can't even close. Tell me I don't hear this. Birds chirping for sunrise, playing lightly as my lullaby. Tell me I'm dreaming. My leg still twitches, seven in the morning, because I'm afraid I'll lose myself before dawn. Shedding emotion in fast waves of flight, tell me I didn't run through time, making stars out of daylight. Orange in the sky, and not from shy headlights in insomniac cars. Yellow, making its fellow opening for my uncomforted sleep, not a nightlight like before, no. Tell me I'm not this.

Insomniac Headlights
I was thinking of a son. The womb is not a clock nor a bell tolling, but in the eleventh month of its life I feel the November of the body as well as of the calendar. In two days it will be my birthday and as always the earth is done with its harvest. This time I hunt for death, the night I lean toward, the night I want. Well then-- It was in the womb all along. I was thinking of a son ... You! The never acquired, the never seeded or unfastened, you of the genitals I feared, the stalk and the puppy's breath. Will I give you my eyes or his? Will you be the David or the Susan? (Those two names I picked and listened for.) Can you be the man your fathers are-- the leg muscles from Michelangelo, hands from Yugoslavia somewhere the peasant, Slavic and determined, somewhere the survivor bulging with life-- and could it still be possible, all this with Susan's eyes? All this without you-- two days gone in blood. I myself will die without baptism, a third daughter they didn't bother. My death will come on my name day. What's wrong with the name day? It's only an angel of the sun. Woman, weaving a web over your own, a thin and tangled poison. Scorpio, bad spider-- die! My death from the wrists, two name tags, blood worn like a corsage to bloom one on the left and one on the right-- It's a warm room, the place of the blood. Leave the door open on its hinges! Two days for your death and two days until mine. Love! That red disease-- year after year, David, you would make me wild! David! Susan! David! David! full and disheveled, hissing into the night, never growing old, waiting always for you on the porch ... year after year, my carrot, my cabbage, I would have possessed you before all women, calling your name, calling you mine.

‘To bed! To bed!’ Said Sleepy-head; ‘Tarry awhile,’ said Slow; ‘Put on the pan,’ Said Greedy Nan; ‘We'll sup before we go.’ (from Mother Goose) They sat at the kitchen table as The candle flickered low, And Greedy Nan put on the pan To indulge her sister, Slow, While Sleepy Weepy Annabelle Blotted her book with tears, And thought of her Beau from long ago Who she hadn’t seen for years. ‘Why doesn’t Roger notice me, Why doesn’t Alan Dell? I’m wearing the dress cut low for me And I’ve hitched my skirt as well. I’ve a pretty turn to my ankle, so You’d think it would drive them wild.’ ‘But men are a mystery,’ said Slow, ‘And Alan Dell’s a child.’ While over the pan stood Greedy Nan, Was cracking a turkey’s egg, A lump of yeast and a slice of beast And a single spider’s leg. With a wing of bat and an ounce of fat And a toe of frog for the spell, She needed to turn her sister off From her crush on Alan Dell. For Greedy Nan was the eldest girl And would have to marry first, The other two would wait in the queue Or their fortunes be reversed, The omelette sizzled, and in the pan She added before they saw, A piece of some Devil’s Trumpet plant For the mating game meant war. She sliced the omelette into half And she served them up a piece, ‘Didn’t you want?’ said Annabelle But Slow enjoyed the feast. ‘I’m not that terribly hungry now I’ve cooked it up in the pan, I think I’ll just have a slice of bread,’ Said the scheming Greedy Nan. They finished up and they sat awhile, And they mused about their fate, ‘If Greedy Nan isn’t married soon, For us it will be too late.’ ‘I’ve set my sights on a country squire,’ Said Nan, without a blink, Lured them away from her secret fire To confuse what they might think. ‘The room is woozy, spinning around, I’d better get me to bed,’ Said Annabelle, while Slow with a frown Saw Dwarves dancing in her head. But Greedy Nan was cleaning the pan To clear all signs of the spell, Her back was turned to her sisters, spurned For the sake of Alan Dell. And when he came in the morning Greedy Nan was sat by the door, While Annabelle and her sister Slow Were lying dead on the floor, ‘I didn’t mean it to **** them, Al, It was only a simple spell,’ But as he cuffed and led her away He frowned, did Alan Dell.

When I close my eyes to sleep at night, I see you lying there, alone in bed so far away, it just doesn't seem quite fair. If wishes worked like magic, that's not what I would see. For you would be much closer, lying next to me. Your head would be upon my chest, your leg draped over mine. Softly, you'd be sleeping, and life would be just fine. And as I drifted off to sleep, your arms would hold me tight. Together we would dream the truth, of this and every night. That this is how we're meant to be, together, intertwined. Just look at all the paths we took, each other just to find.

Wishes & Dreams
*be ever gentle to thy words treat them, your tools, well, cleansing and protecting, wrapping them in cloths of chamois and moleskin that they may be well conditioned and pour forth with a temperament clear and viscous, reflecting their high honors and a noble lineage, they are well-intentioned to exist far longer than your meager temporal life, upon this ever hasty, ever perpetual, orbit give them all respect, their fair due, they are treasure immeasurable, for which you have been granted guardianship, custody received from others to be gifted onwards, yours, but for the duration so oft we trifle words, expel them from the country of our body, without passport and earnestness, as if they were the cheapest of footnote filler, day tourists, to be treated as leavings, refuse for daily discardation, barely noting their fast comings and faster disappearance, but leaving not, a mark of distinction more truffle than trifle, find them in the dark forest of your life, use them sparingly, just for soaring, take them from the roots of your trees, shave them with a paring knife, counts them in bites and measure them in grams, even in grains, for words are the seasoning of our lives, agent provacateurs that can modify the moment, bringing out to the fore the flavor of the underlying speak them slow and distinct, for they arrive slow to you, a trickling of refugees for your sheltering, harbor them as full companions, protected by natural law, provision them well, prepared and ever ready for a quick departure, moor them at the embarcadero, for the next restless leg of endlessness, which they themselves will inform you will last longer than eternity, long after there are no humans to speak them*

*be ever gentle to thy words treat them, your tools, well, cleansing and protecting, wrapping them in cloths of chamois and moleskin that they may be well conditioned and pour forth with a temperament clear and viscous, reflecting their high honors and a noble lineage, they are well-intentioned to exist far longer than your meager temporal life, upon this ever hasty, ever perpetual, orbit give them all respect, their fair due, they are treasure immeasurable, for which you have been granted guardianship, custody received from others to be gifted onwards, yours, but for the duration so oft we trifle words, expel them from the country of our body, without passport and earnestness, as if they were the cheapest of footnote filler, day tourists, to be treated as leavings, refuse for daily discardation, barely noting their fast comings and faster disappearance, but leaving not, a mark of distinction more truffle than trifle, find them in the dark forest of your life, use them sparingly, just for soaring, take them from the roots of your trees, shave them with a paring knife, counts them in bites and measure them in grams, even in grains, for words are the seasoning of our lives, agent provacateurs that can modify the moment, bringing out to the fore the flavor of the underlying speak them slow and distinct, for they arrive slow to you, a trickling of refugees for your sheltering, harbor them as full companions, protected by natural law, provision them well, prepared and ever ready for a quick departure, moor them at the embarcadero, for the next restless leg of endlessness, which they themselves will inform you will last longer than eternity, long after there are no humans to speak them*

death wants more death, and its webs are full: I remember my father's garage, how child-like I would brush the corpses of flies from the windows they thought were escape- their sticky, ugly, vibrant bodies shouting like dumb crazy dogs against the glass only to spin and flit in that second larger than hell or heaven onto the edge of the ledge, and then the spider from his dank hole nervous and exposed the puff of body swelling hanging there not really quite knowing, and then knowing- something sending it down its string, the wet web, toward the weak shield of buzzing, the pulsing; a last desperate moving hair-leg there against the glass there alive in the sun, spun in white; and almost like love: the closing over, the first hushed spider-sucking: filling its sack upon this thing that lived; crouching there upon its back drawing its certain blood as the world goes by outside and my temples scream and I hurl the broom against them: the spider dull with spider-anger still thinking of its prey and waving an amazed broken leg; the fly very still, a ***** speck stranded to straw; I shake the killer loose and he walks lame and peeved towards some dark corner but I intercept his dawdling his crawling like some broken hero, and the straws smash his legs now waving above his head and looking looking for the enemy and somewhat valiant, dying without apparent pain simply crawling backward piece by piece leaving nothing there until at last the red gut sack splashes its secrets, and I run child-like with God's anger a step behind, back to simple sunlight, wondering as the world goes by with curled smile if anyone else saw or sensed my crime

Death Wants More Death

i had a thought. i ran out of my room, down the hallway, and into the bathroom. i wriggled out of my worn down, tie dye shirt. hopping up and down as i pull off my high-waisted jeans, pulling my pant leg with my foot as i trample the dark denim to the ground. i stand there naked, in front of the harsh, full length mirror. combing my fingers through my natural, wavy hair. i contort my face in disgust, cocking my head slightly to the side. i close my eyes, and take one deep breath in. when i open my eyes, the reflection staring back at me is a thin, natural beauty. Her smooth ivory skin glows in the silvery reflective glass. Her stomach is flat and toned. Her ******* lay on Her chest in perfect proportion to the rest of her petite frame. i run my fingers down the sides of my body. my palms trailing along, dipping and rising with the mounds beneath my skin. i close my eyes and open them again, this time taking my reflection for what it really is. i am fat. my skin is pink and spotted with freckles the colour of blood. my stomach hangs low, covering the part a man should see when i'm naked. my ******* are big. but not in the way you'd like them to be. they lay there, sort of lop-sided. hanging just above my ribs. Another place for fat to take over. the cuts on my thighs are hardly noticable next to all that fat i can see tears in the eyes of the reflection staring back at me, but i am numb. i thought correctly. i am fat. i am ugly. Nobody in their right mind would want to love me.

In passing with my mind on nothing in the world but the right of way I enjoy on the road by virtue of the law— I saw an elderly man who smiled and looked away to the north past a house— a woman in blue who was laughing and leaning forward to look up into the man’s half averted face and a boy of eight who was looking at the middle of the man’s belly at a watchchain— The supreme importance of this nameless spectacle sped me by them without a word— Why bother where I went? for I went spinning on the four wheels of my car along the wet road until I saw a girl with one leg over the rail of a balcony

The Right Of Way
Does my blackness offend you? Is my hair too curly for you? Are my hips too wide for you? My dark brown skin glows with all the melanin I have been gifted with. My lucious thick hair is filled with curls that bounce with every stride I take forward, away from oppression. My hips sway perfectly with the drums beating in the air of the Mother land. Does my athletism bother you? Is my intelligence too much for you? Are my people beneath you? My athletic feats have been studied by generations of white Americans who have hoped to find an extra ligament in my leg. My intelligence has been the reason for many inventions all over the world. My people will rise above , always have , always will. My people will be given justice where it's due. My people will be heard , just like the drums from the Mother land.

Does my blackness offend you?
If you keep shooting a man in the leg, he'll eventually beg for the heart.

Slow rot.
And there I saw the perfect bed. Just the perfect size, height width everything I could have dreamt. I imagined the perfect sleep in my perfect bed. Never quite seeing home the same again. It came equipped with sheets and blankets even a heated mattress. This bed was better than anything I could have imagined. I climbed her leg and slipped myself in her pocket. I haven't slept this good in a long while

Perfect Bed
The giraffe and the mouse lived in a big tall house. The mouse asked giraffe "do I make you laugh?" In response to the mouse, the giraffe said "no" "How can I laugh when you're close to my toe?" "Close to your toe?" Said the mouse "but why? Giraffe looked down and began to cry. "It's a long story mouse" giraffe cried in despair. "I'm all ears" said mouse and he pulled up a chair. "To cut a long story short I've got an in growing nail" "Oh" said mouse with a flick of his tail. "Leave it to me I'll be back in a minute" He brought back a kit with some first aid in it. "Lift up your foot" and mouse set to work. Giraffe raised his leg trying not to **** Mouse fixed the nail in no time at all Giraffe was impressed by mouse so small! "How did you do it?" Asked  giraffe in disbelief Mouse just wiped his brow with a handkerchief. "While I'm down here giraffe is there anything I've missed?" "After all...                    I'm the one and only.... Qualified rodent chiropodist!"

Giraffe & Mouse
same setting from a year ago... i am not sure why, but before the clock strikes twelve midnight, my eyes would surely open no matter what. coffee in bed right now, with a few cookies to munch.... my bifocals, where are they? i need them now...i could vaguely see something crawls on the carpet, making rounds, circling my bed... oh, no, it is hopping towards my comforter... I stretch a leg beneath the pillows something moves very near my toes. i withdraw my leg, alarmed, as it quickly disappears... ...then reappears!  now stationary... this is starting to annoy me... I poke it with a pencil, fear no longer present, now, with my bifocals found. but it hops.....and hops... and hops into hiding down.....down.....below, somewhere inside my comforter. In lieu of me, it is now the  comforted. it is taking too long to come out. .....something i realized just now..... could it be possible, could it remember... i was kind enough not to use a swatter before.... why, i feel like i am being welcomed! we are playing hide-and-seek, a welcome dance it is! here and now, just like before from last  autumn, we are finally reunited, my cricket friend and i....   S a l l y   Copyright  2013      Rosalia Rosario A.

.....reunited.....
flex and perspire my darling would you mind a small suffering for craven kisses to have your dark fig **** and drenching ***** stroked with a tickling finger lingering and strong hands around your sweetly curved throat that shunt the breath to yield willingly for sharp-toothed nibbles with surprise tongue whipping? will you present your soft belly and cupping ******* for dark cruelties that excite beyond tabulation will you present yourself with smiles and goddess leg show sobbing for feral pink spires gleaming while quivering thighs turn hot red from the slap of the leather strap splitting stings? will tears of love mix in wild berry utterance and flashing spitfire’s tongue? are you made for this? your every whimper an invitation like an open pink gate do you need the saint of dark desires to rescue you from banal dim-witted all american in and out? do you need to drown in oceanic wave tsunamis of hot butter **** glitter, blood flooding gasms and tender aftercare? my wish that you shimmer like silver possessed by the saint of sadism popes of eros who fill you with the milk of the moon all stars that melt you into the depths of paradise and that this dark ecstasy is the only suffering you will ever know.
