Aggressive Goddess



Aggressive Goddess

Her eyes screwed—
So tight they popped out
With a carcass’ grimace
Squeezing me tightly

The runny sea below—
The moon foaming above
A starved goddess glaring
At me naked in the peat
___________________

Bad company is what—
She wanted, a cataract
Of cock and silence
Drinking my blood

A Fulbright fuck—
Coming roaring my way
Like the moon goddess
An hour before dawn
______________________

Sylvia had images—
Floating deaths skillfully
Hidden so bottomless
Silently falling thru Time

Gate-crashing goddess—
Eye-bright with whiskey
I ripped her earring off
She got me in bed
_________________________

She wouldn’t let go—
Snakes crawling in her
Medusa hair as she bit
My cheek bloody

Limp and dangling—
I pleaded trembling but
She wanted even more
My oozing love-jet
