No, not mine
but I got this book today and am rereading poems that knocked me out when I first read them in college. They still do! This is, to me, beautiful erotic writing.
My sperm is lyre in your blood your
Smell wanders over me like a mouth
You die a moment in my eyes then pass through into
____my heart
Where you live as a drunk
Where you live as that body burnt
Naked by the throes of your whitest name
River carving a deathmask for these words
I paint the features of a face on the head of my cock
But I don't call it Orpheus
Bridge between love and paper between dream and
____quicksand I
You salt tongued to idea abyss' gaze
Our sunglasses broken like a ciao
All of time battles your instant
You lie under cool enormous leaves once the sun's eyelids
Your instant--into which dies mine and eternity's and our's
Sweat bead upon your belly
