Grace. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Writing a Poem for My Male Muse (For Federico Licsi Espino) gracia a. perdiguerra, Dec0505 1. I walk mentally into your space as your blood flow from my pen My arm reaches down your gut, while- Your tears flood my paper with grief I squeeze your crotch tightly. A firm grip and seeds scatter on my poem. 2. But, I'll not use your sacred space pale pink dipped in creamy canvass Take the habit of shore heaving To a coast, a promontory Of your phallic origin, a tower piercing my orange sky. 3. Yet, I will use your tongue, the sword Arthur thrusts in my flesh to stir The wind, while my furious cave cleaves the air, weaning from your sheathe-blood To impede the hemorrhage of words where you have been drowned and born. |
