Prostituting


 I have sex
 with my lover and she gives
 birth to a daughter
 who then becomes my lover.
 Out of the cavernous depths
 of my lover comes
 her heir, my next
 concubine and servant.
 My strengths and surges, sweat and sperm, make
 my lover the oven where
 my new is rising, the orchard where
 my new is ripening, the loins where
 the heat rises and desires for masculine certainty with its musk and cynicism.
 Soon my new will be born and
 my lover will have no part in my affairs as
 I take away the product of us, the fruit of me
 to eat whose juices I lick from my hands and wipe from my chin.
 Mine through sheer possession; my lover
 has no right even if she thinks that birth is binding.
 What binds is
 the assertive claim to what belongs to one
 - the true bellowing of mine.
 No law or custom can combat
 primordial forces of a man and his desires.
 And the beauty that the most gorgeous thoughts and body and fuck let
 come to the world
 is a truer embodiment of purity and loveliness,
 for this child
 is still a virgin:
 innocent, unsuspecting, waiting
 No law or custom can combat
 for someone to show her the world and herself
 the wondrous powers of her and her sex,
 all discovered and released through the touch
 of my eyes, my words, my hands, my cock, my dog lust: I
 pig wallowing in filth come
 take you cover me, moist dirty sweetness of naïve youth who
 could only guess at the true object
 of my desire, the real point
 of my lover - a title that does not serve itself well, quite misspoken.
