…but for the love of Venus go I…

I am hooked on the nipple of creation,
the mound of its sensitivity; its touch of
soothing - the sustenance of shape - the
way I am safe when I am with her and

what the devil knows, after having been
stabbed by a horn, and dripped milk for
40 exiled years…

the pang of wanting, and my moan is an
attempt to wake something buried without
forgiveness - even kings are undone by the
madness of their passions.
