Sacred Geometry

I swear to God
My mother as witness

Her ass was a work
Of fucking art

An inverted heart-shaped
Masterpiece of  curves
Drawn by some divine compass

Sacred bulbs
At the base of her back
Between the dimples
Of her hips

Geometry made flesh
Holy constellation
I never studied
Leaves me still
Spell bound
Tongue tied
Thunderstruck

Eyes voice mind soul
of course
chemistry
is more than physical magic

Dare I say love
opened my eyes to the
wonders of skin bone
iridescent life
glowing mystery
beneath velvet skin? 


But what can I tell you?
That I would burn down the perimeter walls
Sign over every cent I own
Hand the keys to my castle
For a day
Or an hour
Or a moment
A touch?

Let loose in the yard
My lust would scatter the
Chickens
Flood the granary
Lay bare tomorrow

Beauty sometimes is just
Too sweet
To swallow
Digest
Forget

I had to tell someone

But no, you can't say such a thing

And it's better left that way

Desire burns brighter
The further it
Sinks down into folds
Of steaming want

Hunger stoked
By moonlight
Soars outward
From carnal
Earth
Into cold
Empty space

Where it becomes
The midnight backdrop
Of stars

 A round note
of howling
song

As I sing
to no one but you
impaled on the
lance that is
this blessing
this curse
