Why would I want a woman
baked like a pie -
warm apple betty
and eyes berry blue
with too much joy?
I don't want that white picket life
or tears on my pillow
begging me to be gentle
when the moon is pressing
between our thighs.
Spare me the meek smiles,
the dress softly unfolding
you over my bed
and any kind of breeze
disturbing my thoughts.
Much better to give me
your rockets and sore limbs
aching with too much rust,
those roughhewn breasts
and cheeks of brazen flush,
that shiver,
and invitation to disturb your flesh
in ways that make us
grab the air,
that crack in breathing
underneath my ribs,
and all your glory
