Formerly Communist Love Sonnet

The Chinese concubine feeling has left and the sky hovers like the preparation of a revolutionary speech. You, my long walk with all that expectation the sexy lunches, thousands of them, and then all that religion of eroticism. Beneath the squeeze on my heart is a stranglehold. You, like a little Italian porcelain village that’s all over the shop window saying admire this image of foreverness. The red scarf is factory-made but silky and it’s what I’d flutter over your face if you were here and it would be cheap greasy hypnotism, my own malarkey and we’d be on the southside, at the boat docks, and I’d kiss you beside the stretch of a Russian grain ship, its hammer and sickle like the sending out of rescue choppers.
