THE LUMINOSITY OF LIONS
Isn't it luminous out in the drizzling
wouldn't a dip in the river be grand,
Stripped to the skin in our grinning concupisence
leaping off ledges with feathers in hand?
Under the surface all gleaming deliciously
reason would waver and leggy you'd ride,
Straddled and saddled and coddled I'd catalogue
every exhaustible slip of your slide.
Up for a breath of inspired delirium
gulping the air through a tangle of flesh,
Tossing compassion aside like a lion who
lunges ferociously preying afresh,
Gorging my fever-fed ravenous appetite
taking you every conceivable way,
Lifting you spent and all limpid with ecstasy,
languishing, thirsty, I'd drink your bouquet.
