Analysis of My Poems
zebra black 1947 (ny)
my poems are not tyrants
to some
not even poems
or worse yet offensive
scandalous bullies
behemoths of some
savage oversexed mind
mental animated
stained dick worn
dingy wall paper
printed multiples
of pussy ass
and blue eyed
Caribbean pools
beyond hearts mastery
hullabaloo crime scenes
like night jungles
of tooth and claw
in corridors of neuron ghosts
and livid pornographic hieroglyphs
fed by the dreaded
excesses of testosterone
towards some ruined
blood spotted
hanky panky panties
just to remind me of you
and how it hurt just so
and how you loved me for it
whoever you are
no
no sanitized spiel
about fragrant gardens
redwoods
azure blues
the lassitude of angels
and the secret seas keep
my poems
depravities
a slave's heart
vaulted thighs
eating a raw mouth
in a cathedral of tongues
and wrapping myself
in your nut brown hair
