__________Remember when
you used to try to seduce me
__________and then you found out
that all I wanted was to be seduced
__________and you stopped?
__________I remember because
the day is grey
__________like the first day of school
when the sky looked like
__________the beginning of abandonment
and the soggy sandwich in my lunchbox,
__________rampant with banana and chocolate spread,
smelled like the birth of longing.
__________What is it about that chill
that erases May only to replace it
__________with the fragility of first sex?
Because that animal in me shudders
__________in anticipation of touch
before it had consequence,
__________and Spring stood shirtless still.
__________Bendable
is that hunger in me,
__________like the folds of first nudity
when the clothes piled on the floor,
__________and his skin was there, right there,
bristling to grow.

Bend that hunger but don't break it.
Because that animal in me shudders
in anticipation of touch

now that, my dear, is poetry in all its glory. and lust in all its brutality. and love in all its prudence.
how beautiful, dear.
beautiful indeed!
... his skin was there, right there
bristling to grow
Beautiful...
mar, katy, eve, haider, delirious,
thank you so much!
i don't know how i got this confused with "Hunger"... i didn't get the poems themselves confused... just the titles, i guess.
Well, I can see how: "Nudity" has the word Hunger in it; and "Hunger" has the word Nudity in it :)
My, this is lovely.
