All Wrong
she squats on the bed
mirror beneath
you boys are all wrong, she says
there’s not any teeth
by Daddy X — 2012
* * * * *
Worlds apart,
yet closer than ever.
Talk dirty to me.
Lust has a ferocious appetite.
Taking all it wants leaving
love to feed on the rest.
* * * * *
Confess your sins to me
so that we may repeat them
together.
–
the turning moment
when you stop pulling away
start pushing back towards
fires me like nothing else
twists me in turn, spiraling
–
When I was eighteen
I showed my grandfather
my new tribal armband.
He showed me his faded battleship,
bearing Nanna’s name.
–
I think of you
inappropriately
much of the time.
–
half awake daydreams
your arms, legs, lips around me
drifting in a smile
–
This time, I woke up tied.
You looked eager, triumphant
scared out of your mind.
–
How is it that I
remember so well
the touch
I have never felt.
–
blow raspberries
neck, sternum, bellybutton
You know what’s next, right?
