Suppose I were to eat you
I should probably begin
with the fingers, the cheeks and the breasts
yet all of you would tempt me,
so powerfully spicy
as to discompose my choice.
While I gobbled you up
delicacy by tidbit
I should lay the little bones
ever so gently round my plate
and caress the bigger bones
like ivory talismans.
When I had quite devoured the edible you
(your tongue informing my voice-box)
I would wake in the groin of night
to feel, ever so slowly,
your plangent, ravishing ghost
munching my fingers and toes.
Here, with an awkward, delicate gesture
someone slides out his heart
and offers it on a spoon,
garnished with adjectives.

I miss the moshpit pushed to the side of the bed.
The hard and fast rules, the business,
Walking across town the baby’s hand in mine
Gave me anxiety Rosado barely mellowed.
Who doesn’t love to hear about anxiety.
You wouldn’t be too wrong to wake from dreaming
Into an amusement park sluice of Rioja
Eau de post-Auden thanks a lot Timex hubbub.
Those feelings are in their way good luck.
I don’t even need a communion wafer
To feel the need to broadcast imprecations
Fade like a docent as the hedge fund falls.

Fear me, virgin whosoever
Taking pride from love exempt,
Fear me, slighted. Never, never
Brave me, nor my fury tempt:
Downy wings, but wroth they beat
Tempest even in reason's seat.

blowfish arranged on a saucer. Russian roulette. angelic slivers.
ginseng. cut antlers allotted in bags dogs on a spit, a Dutch girl
winking holds a bowl of shellfish.
white cloth, drunkenness. a different language leaks out—
the idea of throat, an orifice, a cord—
you say it turns you on when I speak Korean.
The gold paste of afterbirth, no red—
Household phrases —pae-go-p’a(I am hungry)

fluid melodic
getting more and more drastic
the moment she gives in to him
she regrets it
a throat a chest
trying to press themselves
a current of air
air through the mask
all the flourishes in the world
the fingers, the foot
trilling, the breath keen
responding to recitative
closing and opening
out from the head
with the hands
carry it through the aria
carry it through the chorus
when finally does, waltzes
a solo but not alone
“let's waltz a rumba"
never gives in to the waltz
never embellished
motifs, mimetic, sign language
as clear gesture
displacing singers
he likes this sound
muted and pronounced
effort of error
she likes this sound
weight, irrepressible
effort of eros
they talk about their differences
w/out trying to change or be changed
regretting herself
where do we meet each other
w/out trying to hang or be caged
