A Leak In The Safe

Used to be

When I drove away from you

There was such a sweet taste

Tupelo Honey like Van says

Last few times

Been bitter in my mouth

Bald-faced hornet venom

Stings salty very like tears

School Mistress
Out of proportion
Inside the tight mud
Colored suit jacket
Her breasts enormous
Swollen sagging fruit
Implacable
Mammaries
Amazing
Barely bobbing
Firm-jelly
High firm
Patted mounds
Of pancake batter
Over the top
Eroticizing the unavailable

The first time she saw herself
As the object of desire
A certain kind of quick
Appraising (male) attention
Accelerating mental dislocation
Like the stepmother in a porno
Discovering how just how hard
A new step-son can be

A central figure
Around whom
The chaos swirls
She gravitated to
Transgressive fare
Provocative
Ravishing
Possessed
Yet in control
Feral & physical
Without artifice
Men project onto her
But cannot possess her

She has been electric for me
An intense conductive current
A chain of affinities an event
From some magnetic domain
The flame that spares nothing

What urges do you have We’re
Only guilty of tasting the fruit

Love at crash site
A brick mansion in
The specious present
Her sweet audacities
End up in a precipice
The hope of reaching the
Eternal in her momentary
We have already not done
All that we will not do

Human consciousness
& the human body
Remain inseparable
Sweet enduring vision or
Plaint of infernal pleasure
Sex is the way sentience continues
The way consciousness renews itself
No wonder it’s always in our mind
