Three Pink Poems
for David Trinidad

"Pink and smooth as a baby"
—David Trinidad, "Pink Poems,"
Plasticville

Ted Hughes Pink

Frequently in the woods—
In the moody Mytholmroyd moors
A simply despicable Pink
Prick—tiny—prepucial...
Ted’s Pouty Pink Penis

Sylvia Plath Pink

A young workman saunters by—
He catches bored Sylvia’s
Jaundiced New Yorker eye
Such a cute Fitzroy foxy stud
His nice cute tight butt as
Smooth as a pink baby’s ass

Anne Sexton Pink

Sylvia and Anne camp it up—
Over extra dry pink martinis
After Miss Lowell hamming it up
Between all those breakdowns
Celebrating his Pink Uterus
