“How do they do it, the ones who make love without love …”
“How come the sun sets without you closing your eyes for sleep?”
“How come I never had a body. A head or cock. Some lips or fingertips? Till I compared myself to you …”
“The elephant, the huge old beast, is slow to mate…”
“They do not snatch, they do not tear;their massive blood
moves as the moon-tides, near, more near
till they touch in flood”
“slowly, slowly to rouse…”
“i like you body. i like what it does…”
“And eyes big love-crumbs…”
“… and possibly i like the thrill of under me you so quite new…”
Have you ever wished you’d been born a girl?
That’s one big advantage for being a boy, ‘cause girls can’t do that, you know.
Sure they can have babies, but only boys can have a penis stand up like that.
“You fit into me…”
“…like a hook into an eye…”
“…a fish hook…”
“…an open eye…”
“The interference of flesh…”
“…The noisy mess of flesh…”
“…And no end to this morning lay…”
“Afterwards, when we have slept, paradise…”
“…By knowing him, I get to know the purity of the animal which mates for life …”
“…We are making love.”
