With aplomb, her green eyes
imbibe wonder while
her brilliant life resumes
on the screen behind
my chrysalis eyes:
those reverie cocoons.
I lovingly anatomize
our apartment,
a recovered tomb:
Fire escape coffee,
oranges and ash trays comprise
my Proustian perfume
for drawn curtain sex,
red exit-sign
and love-illusion illumined;
Perspiration paces
from our sofa, naked,
to our cigarette smoke bedroom;
Books laid on marble,
Black lace bras, her auburn hair
and freckled flesh festoons
white wood floors
and walls, bare but for
what may be exhumed;
Her sumptuous name
on scattered papers,
off whisper-lips, issues
two syllables
of symmetry,
its divine spelling assumed.
My metonymic muscle
touches palate twice:
a gliding tongue consumed
by my vowel drawn,
smoke-ring mouth
rhyming Ulalume.

Cunnilinguistics
Overtures
to silent pleasure
yearning lingual urges.
Fille en fleur,
flume doused fire:
the profuse sudden surge.
Colonnades,
a sacred place,
relief of torrent rapture.
Clitoris
of pistil beauty
and spring rain dampened after.
Lambent lips
reposing over
her stomach’s lily languor.
Cheek bone on hip:
vellus hairs
and eye lashes are dancers.
Though the sighs
of other lovers,
lust heaving in their chests,
seashell thighs
clasped firm around
a cove of ocean breath,
reach animated
exclamations,
it’s sandy cinema sex,
sans spray,
and I mourn
the way her waves
arrested my rhythm.
to silent pleasure
yearning lingual urges.
