Orgasms
I
The summer crawls over the hills
one noontime. Our shutters down,
on the sunless bed your revirginated
sea swells and ebbs.
My nose and mouth feel like flypapers
with all your sour and salt water.
I crave to desire summer, welcome it,
but our town at the foot of the hills
takes the worst whipping,
stays a bondage of the heat
until we writhe to recall the safe-word.
Sometimes it is ‘Lemonade’,
and often, ‘Kiss’.
II
The summer laundry pays homage
to the martyred water,
salutes your taut red underwear
on the clothesline.
The zephyr stirs the pennon.
Two doves coo in our dust wrapped yard
as we make love somewhere inside.
Inside.
There exists a place where invasion
has no victim, and the consent negotiates
through our irises, and when we collapse
as ruins we erect good memories for the history.
My manhood coos now, a tired peace-bird.
You free it inside the cage formed with your fingers.
