Mytholmroyd Male



Mytholmroyd Male

The old stone Temple—
The monolithic tombstone
Standing straight & tall
Moody manly erect

Shape-shifting Stonehenge—
Cemetery of the Dead
Thousands of years old
Encrusted with Kinsmen
_______________

Ugly phallic shaft—
In today’s cold drizzle rain
The last flickering light
Across the sullen moors

He leans against it—
Burning young Yorkshire
Youth with burning crotch
Turning into an ash-heap
______________

Sylvia gets him off—
Her lips buried in his
Dark black moody pubes
Deep down her throat
