Kama
Sutra
Mount, ride, dismount
Mount, ride, dismount
Catch your breath
Sip some tea
Jot down notes for
Eventual illustrated
memoirs
Before you go right
back
mount, ride, screech,
grunt, guttural sigh, dismount
The night breeze erases
the jumble
Only poetry remains
As a prickly trace of
the half-hearted combat
Combinations,
distortions, strained bones and arches
Between lust and
lasting
Thrusting and trusting
Caring and stealing
The fight and the
fright
A little death
A little less left
after
Big circling dance of
romance
Diminished by the
mount, the mound
The forlorn foreplay
each blasted night
Variety is the spice of
fright
Twist, tryst, triste,
and shout.
