You came into my bedroom, ripped
the bandage off of your
face and
smeared thin pink blood and clear yellow fluid
onto my
left shoulder then looked up at me imploringly.
No, I said, you may not unburden
your self here. I want no
part of
the real you. What I want is down there where the
golden
urine, the brown richness of laid cable come: that
HBO so
spicy tasty of fish aged just so and steamy warm.
I don't think there is anything
so friendly as a wet vagina,
rejection
is unthinkable because it doesn't think; no more
than
does that wagging dog penis which wants it.
But keep your heart, save your soul,
close your mind from
me. I can't
deal. Your most inmost precious thoughts are a
horror
to me: dry zombie/mummie crumblings that drop
from between
your wrappings. I would those bandages be
sportswrap
but, no, toilet paper and usually wet.
I do not want your look, those eyes,
accusing. I have done
nothing
and that's probably what's wrong. I will not to
listen
to you ooze nor to feed your ears, delicate pink
seashell
attachments for O.R. suction: "Doctor, will the
bleeding
never stop?" You should be so lucky.
I will not to feed those ears. It
would please you if I would
bleed for
you, but I am a man, with no monthlies and only
women bleed.
So give me your flow and all the fullness of
your bottom.
You can keep the rest.
"Is that all a man wants a woman
for?" you ask, eyes like
chrome
ballbearings.
What else have you got? |
