The Sodomites

[heslopian]

make love and wrap it in cellophane for me.
my hand on the mattress, forging a groove –
secure it with starch so we’ll never forget –
your hand catching mine like a fleeing convict,
as your thick torso massages my spine
and you rest your lips against my neck.
let’s do what the comics always make light of,
but without those shit, tawdry punch lines,
the stupid questions about haemorrhoids,
lubricant and gender roles.
the mattress is ours, our sacriligious witness,
as if the love that we share was ever sacred.

I love this. It stands alone beautifully, even without the link. The imagery is vivid (torso against spine, fleeing convict), and the word choices are packed with meaning. Lots of action verbs. I admire anyone that can pull off love poetry. Very well done.
