Sonnets for Liesl
2.
I've cut a place for you inside my heart.
The muscle should survive, regenerate,
those fibers that would make an interstate
of love from something more than simple art.
So think of this—I hold your breasts, or if
you are a man, your cock. (I know this is
suggestive, and quite possibly, way sexist.)
Perhaps we'll let it ride, some glyph
that's untranslatable. You know the beat—
a stroke, a stroke, a stroke as if somehow
mere repetition, like a mule-drawn plough
can -can at last deliver goods complete.
I will not wait for you. Not long, at least.
I will not wait for you till I'm deceased.
I really enjoyed both of these. Damn it, we need a like button. I love the rhythm of them as well as the phrasing. Not so "everyday" erotica.
