he watches in whispers
entrenching desire
beneath
paper thin
guise
pruning soft curvatures
carved to jagged edge
straight lace
entangled
entwined in
embrace
with a man
he
doesn’t know
but would like to
–
bifurcated membrane
dual hybrid spirit
–
lovingly lingers
longing
leafing through archives
sating hunger
with whatever flesh
is placed before
–
appetites
remain hidden
as well as he
swelling in a closed off room
surreptitiously shaded
pale light pouring
pornographic images
as well as
euphoric score of
guttural grunts and
melodious moans
dynamic sequencing of
diminuendo climaxing to corporeal crescendo
–
planting seed
exaltation
momentary bliss subsides
to extended internal dialogue
rationalizing
identifying
–
images of lust
leave one feeling
hollow
as a picture of fruit
leaves one just as hungry
feeding fantasy
yet not the body
renders him
malnourished
–
the hunger will return
just as strong
or maybe stronger
until at last
he’ll be forced
to eat
