The Feminist
zebra black 1947 (ny)
She hated lewd offers
but thought, as she fled rationality
*Taboo and Transgression reflect two contradictory urges*
there is a deficiency
a feeling as if
dormice gnawed on her tender heart
unthreading her very being
*The taboo would forbid
the transgression but the fascination compels it"*
in the old school
fearless foul mouthed men
with big shoulders and hero's chests
knew how to take a woman
*Please Master
Please master can I touch your cheek
please master can I kneel at your feet*
so she would lose herself
caring for nothing but
her spilling
clitoral incandescence
into kingdom come
*mystery woman
with a cock in hand
plays the piccolo
in a hot swing band*
out of the question
was dissolute lust
its quivering equivocations
of undoing and redoing
in a torment of feeling,
as if blood thirsty
disavowing, yet starved for love
like a cry of the void
*her throat
a spiral armed galaxy
her heart and cunt
hounded moons*
the feminist
