Double Negatives
by Gabriela Anaya Valdepeña
brideofbaudelaire@yahoo.com
hough you call me a symbolist to my face,
I have no objection to getting on my knees
and getting gone, before your wife arrives.

Wife of few enchantments, and many detachments,
wife from green Ivy League days, who gave your dog away,
who cries rape when you touch her.

In a daze before her long reflection; thick glasses glint
in the echoing vestibule of time.

She cannot compete with the curve of my spine. She
cannot complete her thesis after twenty years.

If perhaps, you pushed her tender buttons or gave her
final cause to pull out her Samurai hair,
with every thrust, I will pay.

Yes, I am a symbolist, though I abhor
French double negatives, and don’t read enough
into the tangling of our continental tongues.

In the dark we attract white motes.
Thrust ‘til my blood consents,
‘til your heart is all but content.

Soon she comes for you.

Write to me from Hades.

Spank Me
by Gabriela Anaya Valdepeña
brideofbaudelaire@yahoo.com
or the sins I am thinking.
Spank me
for the ones I have already committed.
Spank me
for the bad girl sparkle in my innocent smile.
Spank me
for the birthdays you missed.
Spank me
for the men I never had, but wanted.
Spank me
for the ones I had and threw away.
Spank me
for the women I've loved in dreams.
Spank me
for the ones I taunted you with.
Spank me
for the tequila chocolates I ate.
Spank me
for the blue satin panties I left under your pillow.
Spank me
because I like how your hand sings on my bottom.
Spank me
because the doctor forgot to when I was born..

Unspeakable Things
by Terrie Relf

auran couldn’t sleep. It wasn’t that she was worried about anything in particular, or that she suffered from any aches or pains. She just couldn’t sleep.

Her mind felt clear and open like a moonflower, her thoughts swirling about like brilliant light through a bamboo grove. Yet how she longed for the scent of her star jasmine childhood, rather than the stale coffee and kitchen garbage too long in the bin.

Cal had left quietly through the back door. She thought that was odd, as if he could disturb her now. Fantasies of him had stoked her wakefulness night after night, so when he finally invited himself over for dinner and to watch Star Trek reruns, she was amazingly calm.

She’d made pesto from scratch, sliced a baguette nice and thin. Scampi and fettucini. He didn’t drink, so she bought an assortment of flavored mineral waters. She had a nice Merlot for herself, from which she sipped while cooking.

Was it just a few hours ago that Cal had crept up behind her, murmured, "aren’t you attracted to me?" against her ear.

"No, not really," she’d replied, wondering how long it would take before her body betrayed her.

He slid his hands around her shoulders, pressed her against him, nuzzled at her neck.

"Are you attracted to me now?"

"No, she gasped, her body automatically arching as he sucked on her ear lobe, circled a finger around her nipple.

"What about now?"

She gasped, writhed against him.

"Damn you!" she moaned. As he slid his hand further, beneath the elastic of her skirt, beneath the red silk of her thong.

He’d just been fuel for fantasy. Something of beauty to engage her nights. She hadn’t anticipated this. Sleep would be more beautiful still if it wasn’t poisoned with the gastric juices of recurring nightmares. Cal whispering, "I want to do unspeakable things to you," and her calling out, "Yes! Yes! Oh Yes!", like some B-movie where the girl gets tied up and left alone in an abandoned warehouse with rats and roaches and sirens at a distance.

There was a clicking sound. Yes, from her computer tower. Cal had been surfing the net before he left. Checking his email maybe. A dog started barking next door. Others from across the street followed suit. The moon was not yet full, but it was hanging there, heavy with light.

Other sounds, like wind at the curtains, the shallow pool of her breath. A cup of tea would be nice now, Lauran thought, as she tried to sit up. So exhausted, and she’d hadn’t even moved a limb.

Unspeakable things. Yes, he had really said he wanted her to do unspeakable things with him.

Salt. Yes, he had placed salt upon her tongue, joked about it warding off zombies. It left a metallic taste in her mouth. Made her thirsty. Unbearably thirsty. Instead of tea, she thought about how nice it would be to have a glass of ice water.

I’ll have to call in sick to work tomorrow, she thought as the hours passed to near dawn. All through the night, she’d worried about the alarm not going off in the morning, but it did, and she was still awake to hear it. She’d need two shots of espresso rather than the usual one to get through her morning classes. Was that gas she smelled, or trash in the alley. Cal must have left the window open. Odd, she thought he’d closed it.

Something of beauty. Yes, she’d thought Cal was beautiful. He emerged like a succubus from the shadows of her bedroom, crawled underneath the down covers, curled himself around her for awhile before he left.

It was morning, and the crickets were finally quiet. Perhaps she’d get some sleep, but the white curtains began to whip about. Lauran remembered something about a storm. Funny. She thought Cal had closed all the windows before he left, but perhaps he hadn’t.

"I want to do unspeakable things to you," Cal had said.

And then he did…

ust every look, smile, hug, touch always mean sex to you?"
She fired an icy glare.

"What I need right now is warmth, a hug, a little affection!
Sometimes you’re worse than a teenage boy!"

He returned her icy stare, "You want tender hands and hugs,
Then why don’t you date a lesbian?"

"Can’t a guy get a hard-on without being blamed for it?
Ok! Yes, all I want sometimes is sex… is that so terrible?"

"So marry a gay man." She countered wryly-- Then confusion,
And in the deepening silence, bewilderment

For neither could remember the last time they'd made
Such perfectly good sense.

ill you smile real pretty if I pull the trigger?

Will you let a squadron of red dragonflies
Carry you by your nipples and hair up
Into a forgetful green sky by your toes
By fingernails, nose, fuzz on your ears?

You will forget the blue and red years

Mean years, when you sail a pink typhoon
Gales of lavender moonlight and money
Money for bills and roses, so many roses
You could give three to each hobo, rebel

And drunk in the world, and one for me.

If I whirl a hurricane of wishes and dreams
To right the wrongs we have brought
Upon the children of coming generations,
All the animals and insects gone to extinction…

If I gather all the lint from our toes, sox, bras

Our underwear, into a sudden mighty wind
And knock the leaders, kings and tycoons
Off their murderous feet once and for good
To say there is something very different from

What they promise and what we get, my dear,
Will you smile, will you smile, will you smile real pretty?

Locked in a heart bursting flame, divine torture
heavenly joy and damnation:

Oh Beauty, burnt by the searing light of God
Dump your boyfriend and be with me!


Untamed

t is your flesh I ponder, the sharp angle of the muscle from the knee melting into the fleshy part of the thigh just below your sex. As you lie half awake, half asleep, I admire this part of you and quietly find my way between your thighs. You moan, but it is not a moaning of sensual pleasures, but that of being bothered in the night. I wait until you sleep again then continue to study your thighs and the quiet, lifeless penis before me.

I lick and press my mouth against your flesh, knowing that the warmth of my tongue and lips will awaken you. As I lick, I find your penis waking up, first and then your body as you shift drowsily. It is now that I take your penis in, take it in the state of soft discovery and you moan again, raise your head and sigh, somewhat taken aback to see me down below.

You touch my head, gently playing with the soft strands of blonde hair that you can reach. Perhaps you remember that we've made love twice this night in languid, long sessions of playful give and take. I have worn you out, you protest. I am not tired.

In my mouth, you respond and, of course, I took you in the night, pulled myself up to the top of your torso, knowing that it wouldn't be long before you exploded. I placed my lips on yours and pleased myself, engulfing your penis. I watched your face contort in the pleasure of being quietly ravished.

We have never spent the night together without one of us leaving before the other awakens. I am afraid for this new way, as it seems it will be the end of us.

You came to my apartment one evening after we had had a terrible misunderstanding. You left for hours and then suddenly you were at my door again. It was late at night.

I remember you standing there. You were sure of yourself but asked me if you could come in, anyway. Yes, I said. Of course. I said nothing, and began to make tea. The silence was that of a beginning reconciliation. I began to speak, to chatter, to say something that seemed important, but you would have none of it and there were no words when you came into the kitchen, put your keys down on the counter and took my hand. You led me to the bedroom. I cast my eyes down because I was ashamed and knew that the argument had been entirely my fault. I thought you would spank me, but you didn't. Your eyes seemed filled with intent and you stared at me, searching for something in the back of my head.

You stripped me slowly, never once taking your eyes off me. Your hands were rough and you bit my breasts as you bent down to remove my panties and then led me to the bed. I watched anxiously as you rummaged through my closet and found a belt from a silk robe I never wear. Then you came to the bed, still fully clothed and tied my hands together with the silk sash, then tied my feet so there was little distance between my feet and my head. I recall wanting you to hold me, to tell me that you forgive me, that nothing is wrong, but you didn't.

While on the bed, you fondled me roughly, moving me against the front of your jeans as I could not move myself. I was completely helpless, unable to protest. You dipped your fingers into my sex and then shoved them into my anus, hoisting me closer to you and rubbing me with the rough fabric of your pants. This frottage made me moan with pleasure, and gave my desire away, but you had other plans.

In front of the sliding glass doors in my bedroom, you placed me on the floor and hoisted my backside up, telling me to bend over and hold my feet. It was awkward, but that didn't matter. I groaned with wanting. You took your penis out of your pants, stood behind me and slid it between my thighs, where a smooth, velvet sheen began to form.

I trembled for you. You held my hips and glided into me. The pleasure was intense. You thrust very slowly and I could not move faster or I would tumble into the glass. You enjoyed the power, the ability to make me wet, even when we argue.

I heard you groan as you took me harder and harder, but knew you hadn't come. You held me up and faced me, pushed into my mouth as I was facing you on the balcony. You picked me up after a few minutes, carried me to the bed and put me down, facing away from you. I thought you would take me from behind, but you caressed my ass, massaged and tugged on the soft buttocks presented to you. I moaned again and you spanked me hard until I gave out a little whimper, then you took me, driving deeply into me in fast motions, bending over me and clasping onto my breasts, pressing into my flesh harder and harder until you gave a last forceful thrust and cried out. Still, you said nothing, untied me and left the apartment.

On days when you want me and I'm not necessarily ready for you, I think about different things, things unrelated to you to make myself wet. Does this drive you mad? When I am with others, I think about the things we do, then. The fantasies are never about the same person that's in the room.

Two men, however. That's a different story.

A fortnight before I met you, I stood with a great crowd to watch a band play outdoors by the bay. I wore a black dress, with wide straps and a split down my leg, beginning at the hip. It was a night that I wanted to feel good about myself, to feel sexy so that others would look at me with desire. My nipples remained hard with erotic thoughts.

Underneath the black dress, I had a black lace slip on and nothing else. I felt sexy and hot. The crowd began to dance in place, forced against each other by little space. The band caught everyone in a slow, languorous rhythm. I felt a light hand supporting my back and smelled the heady musk of someone behind me. The musicians played a long, sultry summer song and I remember closing my eyes, leaning back into the body behind me. Very hot hands rested on my hips and my nipples began to tingle and harden even more.

The hands slid up to the sides of my breasts, not squeezing, but caressing, then flicked each nipple with a thumb. I closed my eyes and raised my arms with the dance.

The beat remained slow and these hands pulled me back until I could feel a hard thickness against my ass. I did not protest. These hands, hot and gentle were sliding down my dress until they found the thin band that held my slip up. The slip came down and the flesh of my hips was exposed except for the hand, the warmth of the fingers now moving around to the front under my dress. The penis twitched when the hands discovered no panties and a wet me. Two fingers massaged as everyone bounced in place. I felt giddy. The hands lifted the back of my dress and I felt the thickness rubbing on my slip while the music pushed us together as we kept the rhythm. I tensed and soaked his fingers as I came. I felt a harder, driving rhythm as one hand covered my breast and the other was inside me. I moaned with the music, but the hands suddenly disappeared, leaving me aroused and titillated. I still remember the hands and his smell, but I never saw his face.

The day after we argued, I came to your office. You were buried in paperwork and said you could only talk for a minute. I told you that was okay and put my purse down. I wasn't wearing anything but crotchless pantyhose, a blouse and a short black skirt. I came around to your desk and kissed you. You were impatient with me, still angry from the night before, and you bent me over your desk and lifted my skirt to finger me. Your secretary buzzed and told you your client was here. A female client. I grabbed my purse and hid underneath your desk. When you greeted her and came around to sit down again, I decided to play with you. I unzipped your pants quietly while you cleared your throat. I felt your wonderful hardness and heard the slight strain in your voice as you discussed business in a slow, methodical way. You leaned into the desk and I was able to coax your penis out of your pants and massage it with my tongue. Your face must have turned red because the woman asked you if you were okay and you acted like you might have a slight fever. Perhaps it was awkward that you did not stand up to greet her when she left. It was time for lunch and your secretary abandoned her station and left us alone. You immediately pulled me up from the floor, raised my skirt and penetrated me with a fierce force of passion and desire, coming all over me and your desk.

We met at a wedding reception of a mutual friend. The house was huge and the crowd large. The men dressed in black tuxedos while the women wore sparkling colors. The smell of the room had the faint smell of sex, the smell of a hotel room just after a rambunctious row when sweat and juices have coated every part of the two bodies involved.

I wore a dress with a full, round skirt and sat across the room from you.

Our eyes met and the lusty desires that would define us showed in both our faces.

I watched you mingling with other men, other women. I would know when you liked talking to a woman because your penis would bulge through your tuxedo pants and I could see it from across the room. You happened to glance my way. I stared at you and started licking the ice cream cone that the caterers brought. I used my tongue and kept eye contact as I licked with long, lingering strokes. You weren't able to take your eyes off me after that, but you stayed on the other side of the room.

Several men came up to me to chat and I flirted with them, but you remained where you were, watching me. I soon tired of the game and started to walk away, just to see what you would do. Then you were in front of me, excusing the two of us and grabbed my hand as we walked out of the party. Without an introduction, you asked me if you could kiss me.

I must have looked like a frightened deer, because I did not answer, but glanced back and forth. My face was red and hot. You knew I wanted you. You touched me for the first time and, pulling the blonde hair away from my face, you kissed me outside the front door as people were beginning to leave. It was nighttime and you whisked me off the sidewalk and behind a tree. We kissed passionately and you pulled me into you so that I could feel your need. It must have surprised you when I fell to my knees and pressed my face against your penis through the black trousers. Still without words, you opened your fly and I sucked you off in the dark, playing with your balls as you hissed. All the while, we heard people coming and going. I didn't even know your name.

The next day, you called me to say we were going to New Orleans on the weekend. There aren't very many words between us, nothing to compromise the heady erotic tension, the sexual desire that connects us. We are a study in erotic tactics, using each other for this one purpose.

But this can't last forever, can't be the all of it. I see it in your eyes, the weaning off of tiger's milk, the saturation and satisfaction. It has been two years, now. Two years of abandon, of lust without words and the seduction of the animal and anima, a beast that knows no hurry, no bounds of the body and no ties to the conventional.

How much longer before the spell is broken and the words of ordinary speech come pouring out to sound the end of this maddening desire. How much longer can we press against this hunger without the desire to share, to fill the mundane needs of commonality? To spend the night and awaken on the other side, the two of us together, this may be the end. I fear it.

However, for the moment, I am the huntress, the one that seeks the tiger, claws extended, running through the forest to take on your fiery lusts.

Night Deluge
by Richard Denner
rychard@sonic.net
he sun goes down. Venus flings off her gown. Who is drowned emerges from the sea of mad and drunken illusion. Astray, an atom whirling wildly, Love illuminates my way.
I circle her room like a panther, asking her opinion of the wine, giving back this tower, in which I've circled for 600 years. Easy to get caught up, until I think I should do something. I feel like a hermit talking to a trout. I touch her softly, and she darts away. I can't make her make up her mind, although I've caught her heart in a net.
Two eyes look at two eyes; on a flute, two hands play a simple air. The hot, dry wind blows through her hair. If she'd allow a kiss now, it'd be synchronicity. Let's conjugate the tenses of the body's language. Relax, Love, it's true, love is senses, nonsense and double sense intensely.
She's hot. To me, she'll be hot when she's 50. and she'll still be saying, "I'm hot. God, it's hot. This house is hot. This cup looks like hell, and 'm drinking from it, but it's cold and wet." Life is huge and cruel, and, at best, we get a chance to dance. Let's turn it upside down. Life's up, down and crosswise. We're not hiding behind disguises.
Love of love makes the poet mad. He dies and makes death wise. I called my love false love, but what she said then. Sing Pine, Sing Pine, Sing all a Pine, no one blame her. I invite her scorn. What's next? Who knocks? It is the wind.
She's in her tower, addled on Freud. I hear the celestial choir, and wonder what's beyond. I know it's no joke, working seventy-hour weeks. I going to the East; maybe we can meet in the West, say, New York, although it's a very expensive place. I'll get some special shoes to live in when it's cold.
It's after midnight, hours since I came home, her eyes still before me. It's after midnight. Time has past, and I am in a harsh, gray desert, thinking with my feelings. Encountering each tiny sensation, I gathers up the warm truths and the sad ones, while she dances in the moonlight, covered in colored scarves, alone but not lonely.

Invisible Roses
by Richard Denner
rychard@sonic.net
irds dart up. I see her name in their flight. I see her in the moving water, the clouds, even the blistering sun. The world is new and true and lovely. Nothing else to be.

He takes you for his pleasure. I give you your pleasure, this sunrise, this pink rose. Cut roses in a vase, invisible roses, also growing there. All too well, I can divine her look. Everything she does is a leading worthwhile.

I'm in a room with a door she can go through but I can't. She's in a room with a door I can go through but she can't. Now, I see her face in another place and try to catch the echo of her voice.

She is that woman despised by all other women and most desired by men. She is tormented by the hostile sex that saturates her. She has spiteful days when she feels ugly and yearns for someone to understand her pain.

She dreamed she saw frozen DNA, but really it was an angel, coiled and waiting to be discovered, in the palace of her mind. Nature has no memory. The past vanishes like the winter winds.

She's discovered that romantic love is a sentiment invented, and that all her cluttered days culminate in this fact.
Heart, how close you are. Like lightning, you strike. If you seek me, look towards the lake. I'm free of my cage. I am Love. Let my pheromones have a field day.

I fly high. I fly low. Questions in the sky, answers in the snow. Love is not less for falling. Loves way is a ricochet. "Numerolgically," she said, "Jello is a 9." I feel displaced and listen to The Screaming Trees. Sing Willow, Sing Willow, Da na, da na, da na, da na, hey, hey, hey, hey.


Basketball Betty
by Higgins
rwill4515@aol.com


I was an undergraduate Psychology major at the University of Connecticut when I met Basketball Betty. Her name was inspired by her marvelous chest, although the persons she encountered never called her Basketball Betty to her face. I had just been honorably discharged from the U.S. Army and was 25 years of age and at that timeBetty was an executive secretary at U-Conn, as it is called. She attracted men by the droves. She was a platinum blond of age 30, and when she walked across campus, wearing a red skirt and a black blouse, both form fitting, with shiny black pumps encasing her feet, she left a trail of men of all ages frozen in their tracks, their eyes glazed, breathing rapidly.. Betty was a part-time student, her tuition being paid as a fringe benefit of her job, and her major field was English.

I met Betty when we both happened to enroll in a course entitled "Psychology and Literature," and by chance I ended up sitting next to her in the classroom. One day after class we spread a blanket on the edge of Mirror Lake and enjoyed a simple lunch of submarine sandwiches and iced tea. We were lying therenecking for awhile, but then I had to go off to class and Betty went to work. The first official date I had with Betty was arranged in an odd fashion because of our disparate schedules. Both of us liked to go to plays, especially enjoying live performances, and at the time the U-Conn Players were putting on Julius Caesar. Rather than picking her up and taking her to the theater I met her there. It was February, the weather was cold, it was snowing, and I was wearing heavy clothing, including rubber boots. I arrived at the theater before Betty, hung up my coat and shed my boots in a wrap room, and took a seat in the front row of the theater. Betty arrived 15 minutes later, wearing her heavy clothing as she came to the front and sat beside me. She took off her fur coat and scarf and placed them in her lap. . She gave me a big smile, held my hand, and kissed me on the ear. "Are you ready for a good play, Rod?" Soon the lights were lowered and the play began. The theater was quite dark except for the stage. The audience was disappointingly small, with hardly anyone in the first row. It was possible that some potential spectators stayed away because of problems in understanding Elizabethan English. Others could have been discouraged by the inclement weather. Although the players were amateurs, it was refreshing to have the pleasure of a live performance. And they were very good amateur actors.

Soon Betty placed her hand on my thigh. She let it remain there for a moment, perhaps to see if I would discourage her, and then she moved it to the inside of my thigh, stroking me gently, moving it up closer to my crotch. What would you do if a lovely platinum blond were stroking you in a sensitive area, where the nerve endings abound?

Well, I experienced a case of trembling loins. On the stage the prophet was warning

Julius Caesar to be wary of the 15th of March.
Soothsayer: Caesar!
Caesar: Ha! Who calls?
Soothsayer: Beware the ides of March.
Caesar: He is a dreamer. Let us leave him.

In the meanwhile Betty was making progress. She blew on my ear softly and then put her tongue in my ear. Betty covered both of our laps with her fur coat. In that way she could work more freely in arousing me. She unbuckled my belt, unzipped my fly, and freed my hard and throbbing penis from the confines of my underwear. I felt fingers gently stroking the head of my cock, which was already wet with viscous, pre-come iquid. Her next move was a shocker. She ducked her head under the coat and went down on me sucking in a firm and rhythmic manner, her warm fingers caressing my balls. I reached inside her sweater, lowered her bra, and gently caressed her lovely breasts. At times she would give my weapon a rest, and then when it began to get soft the sucking caresses would resume. I got to the point where I was about to come off and was fearful that I might create detectable sounds in my full joy. Suddenly a rather noisy eventoccurred on the stage.

Casca: Speak, hands for me!
[Casca first, then the other Conspirators and Marcus Brutus
stab Caesar.]
Caesar: Et tu, Brute? Then fall Caesar![Dies.]
Cinna: Liberty! Freedom! Tyranny is dead! Run hence,
proclaim, cry it about the streets.

I began to come just as Caesar was acknowledging Brutus’s unkind stab. It was a prolonged, shuddering orgasm and I punctuated it with loud moans, which were apparently masked by the actions on the stage. Betty sucked contentedly as she managed to swallow all of my semen. After we watched the play for awhile, I decided to reciprocate. I began by slipping my hand under Betty’s end of the fur coat and resting it on her knee. As expected, there was no resistance, so I ran my finger tips along her thighs slowly and eventually reached inside her skirt and touched her panties. They were sopping wet! I next focused on her breasts by feeling my way inside her sweater, un-hooking her bra, and sucking on her awesome tits. I gently nibbled on the nipples and they became hard. Betty was moaning quietly. After removing her panties, I went dow non Betty, using my lips and tongue to great effect, working over her labia and paying special attention to her clitoris. Betty was having trouble containing her emotions and she warned me that if I didn’t stop she would soon experience major orgasms accompanied by loud exclamations of pleasure. I assured her that the military actions about to occur on the stage should mask her declarations of joy. I put a finger in her mouth and she sucked on it. Then I too sucked on it and reached under her buttocks until I located her nether hole, plunging the wet slippery finger into it.

And on the stage:
Scene II of Act V- The field of battle
[Alarum. Enter Brutus and Messala]
Brutus: Ride, ride, Messala, and give bills
Unto the legions on the other side.
[Loud alarum.]

Betty shrieked her way through multiple orgasms, her hips bucking, as I licked up her erotic juices.

Scene IV of Act V-Another part of the field.
[Alarum. Enter, fighting, soldiers of both armies]

Apparently, the other persons in the audience did not detect our love making and the players hadn’t been disturbed. We rearranged our clothing and the fur coat went back on Betty’s lap. We turned to each other and kissed several times. And then the lights came up and the players took their bows.
I said, "Did you enjoy the play?"
"Shakespeare’s play or our play,Rod," replied Betty..
"Our play,"I said.
"It was sheer pleasure," said Betty
I said, "Perhaps we should come back on the weekend and see Shakespeare’s play."
"Rod, how would you like to have a nooner tomorrow?" said Betty.
I said, "I can’t think of anything I would rather do."
"I can switch schedules with one of the other secretaries in my office so that you can pick me up at eleven in the morning and then I will return to work at one," said Betty. "We can go to the Lark Woods on the edge of the campus. I will pack a lunch for us. I have a book that might interest you. It contains a description of over 200 love-making positions that were employed by the ancient Chinese. Some of it is illustrated."
I said, "I can’t wait. Maybe we can work our way through the first dozen positions tomorrow."


No Milk and Cookies

other stalked me with her spoon
when father drank. Love was
"a turn of the screw" James'
story was mysterious,
water fills the tub barely
kicking the ocean as I splash
in the bath with her perfume
on my lips and on her fingers.

It was a game; she flew naked
from lies. I was not child she said.
"Man of my dreams," she sang.
Delusion and mercy forever and ever.

Held by my privates,
Sprayed with blue milk I sucked.
She laughed. She loved harder
as she spoke that word "pain"
in commercials for happiness.

She tongued my lips and I bit her nipple
Christ violet in flower. She said. "More
It hurts. It is a bloody sky, crimson
patch of gentleness. "Amen.
I am your demon."

When I held her she laughed too easy
at the mystery of the boy and his chalice.

The next morning I woke to the smell of raw milk
gone sour -- she of semen left out to ripen;
father slept on the floor not forgotten.

No one caught her for his crime
nor did Father suffer pale malaise.
She died not knowing the legacy.
The entrance to her hell
was a ball of sun and a noose

"You are the lamb," she said
"I am the woman with the axe."

It was fear she said.
I cannot watch you
as I fall from your side
and it doesn't happen
as stroke follows memory.

I rose at dawn and made
that extension a daily ritual
The world lived inside and my breath
was cool, instant after instant I signed
at the place where I was ordered
she made me lie down in her green pasture
I could not confess her sins. I opened
her door and watched her with him

I was sad as she turned away
He laughed as my wife revised
our order of ceremony. She's
mine I wanted to shout. He took
her back and beat her raw
I rubbed her wounds and kissed
where she longed to hurt
syllables split into stalks
hide, seek allows pollution.
They called sex that once.

When she came I counted
the number of thrusts
expanded like a litany of sex
on the back of her cross where
We live happy together
in Mary, in the end of all things
while Saturn covered us with methane
as frozen rivers from triton.

The beach is arms.
Crust of the rock "Genesis"
In billions of miles, years from
then to now mother
and father made love
in the void as salt revives
the strip tease of the lash.

I remember her pleasure
as I came too soon, late
to the morning of her sun.

I worship at that Hollywood door
where her hair parts and
moisture leaks from her gate.

I was stalked in my flannel
warm and cozy night dress
she made it for me.
stood up made for burlesque
while I gave into her pleading
and let go in her mouth.

Eddie Meyers Buys A Blowjob
31 January 1989

t was thundering cold, blustery, raining snow and ice the day former lifeguard and US Marine Staff Sgt. Eddie Meyer's walked his last taxi driving tour.

Sgt. Eddie courted death, snorted coke, fucked dime whores, and did anything in his power to die early. He insisted on risk multiplied by risk. And that frozen day, getting, what he called the perfect blowjob Eddie's heart quit as he shot into the child's mouth.

Henry heard the story of the "blow by blow" directly from the girl. A week after Eddie died he picked Judy up on a whim as she hitched across the GW Bridge.

All of us knew about Judy. On the street runaway at 14, shooting coke at 15. She had a kid last year at 16; her parents' back in Ohio raised little girl. Judy couldn't take it so she returned to the streets two months later.

She told the driver Fat Frank that she loved Eddie and only went back on the game, using her favorite British slang, when she lost her fast food job. "I would fuck Eddie just because," she said. I am sad he died. He always made me laugh. Others said that Judy was full of shit and that her pimp fucked with Eddie's drugs when Eddie got too close to Judy. Others, and there are always fifty stories for one truth saying Judy Fucked? Eddie up when he refused to take her in his cab to cop blow. Truth is always fragile.

Laurie seemed sad, as Henry told the story to Aaron and Angela later that night. Sure, Judy could be lying. Then again, all I gave her was a free ride to the city. I didn't even wait, he said.

She got out, and looking almost dead herself, pushed her head back into the cab, through my open window, and asked me if I would wait while she copped. She continued smiling and kissing me on the cheek; that "if I waited she would give me what she had given Eddie." I laughed at her, and sped off, and I could see she was laughing as well. I wondered why I let her kiss me on the cheek.

Henry loved his stories called them shadows. He saw the good Sgt. as the perfect ghost. He was dead before he lived; Henry thought when he learned how Eddie had died. And saying that, they he remembered how they shared war stories, and how he believed everything that Eddie said.

Eddie would slap Henry's back, after each story, and carefully ask Henry why the fuck he drove a cab. Eddie would add, finally, yea I know you got fired for fucking some underage student, but what's the other reason.

Man, you're out of place here, but Hen again, being out of place, fits. We're all out of place, so you might as well enjoy it, and he would offer Henry a hit, or a line and Henry would carefully accept the joint and refuse the coke.

The last thing Henry remembered. That New Year, just before Midnight, on the taxi stand, three cabs behind Eddie on the stand.

Eddie was looking at his box of photos. He kept them with his cash in the cab. They were the usual ones. Pictures of Eddie as a lifeguard, in Nam, in uniform. Eddie would always say, look how handsome I was then, as he fingered his past. Here's my son. Wasn't he great? I miss him, he would add. Why did he die? Why did I buy him that fast car so he could kill him self. I told him not to race that fucking car.

Eddie rambled like this all the time. Most of the drivers ignored him. Henry couldn't, but when Eddie, called the taxi stand "His patient rest before that moral hour soon to come." Henry saw Eddie the poet and he remembered how he also called the GW Bridge, his righteous black ocean to "Never-never land." Just like Tinker bell, he said, and he would snap his fingers, and laugh, letting his body shiver. If I could only twinkle, he said, how I could get laid. And the other drivers, Henry included, would laugh at the show, waiting like Eddie, for their last call, caressing the bridge, called it their righteous ocean.

So Myths are born.

Two hours after death Eddie another drunken ghost rode the bridge? I never saw him, but some did. Sure, I believe them.

One driver protested Eddie's claims. He said - how can a ghost get stoned and drunk? How cans a ghost get blown? "You know," the man said, "if Eddie were really a ghost he would have whores to service him. "Would be free, the man, would protest, right?"

I remember Eddie one summer night maybe a year or two earlier. Eddie was in back of a broken down cab with a Spanish hooker. She was fucking him. The girl looked about 20 but was probably 14. Eddie was banging her not caring if I watched, and the bitch, was spread out on the back seat, half stoned, almost asleep, oblivious to the grunts and groans, as Eddie pushed his body into her furiously trying to keep himself hard after he came. I know I am a "sicko" but I watched the whole thing. Eddie said later that she asked if I would be next. He told her No, that I was a faggot, and she said, laughing back, that her brother would do me for twenty. I said that she could blow me if she paid me, and she smiled, pushed me down and sucked me off in five minutes rubbing my balls to make it happen quicker. She loved it, she said, and it was free, which pissed off Eddie? She did suck well. It was quick and I rose into her summer head. I felt it all like a bang on the back of your life when you come you are like a delicious machine making the cream into a luxurious float. I loved watching her suck I remembered as Eddie floated past. She sucked as her teeth scratched, and as quick as I came, she sucked longer afterwards. Finally she licked up semen that had dripped from her chin to almost invisible tits.

Eddie was never off course. He raged for the coke and pussy. He died having his dick sucked, and Henry added, telling Aaron the story, you know if I have to die, why not in the saddle.

Aaron, always the comic, retorted, bet you fucked the girl too. It wasn't just a blow job. Don't bullshit me Henry; I know you never turn young ass down. You got the taste for it in Nam like I did.


Rapturous Intoxication

decided to let you go today
Without a word or a sound
Not because I wanted to
Not because I needed to
Not because I had to
But rather because I became too addicted
Couldn't get enough of a fix anymore
From your needle of ecstasy
That shot rapturous intoxication into my veins
