I HAVE TAKEN YOU

I have taken you

I have fucked you

I have made love to you

In rooms and courtyards

we have given ourselves to passion

Swords of angels

crossed over our nakedness

to make love secret in the world

Nothing was withheld

All was generosity and true appetite

Why is it

even when you smile saying

yes now whenever

whenever you want me

why is it I do not believe

I will ever hold you again

or walk on the street

under my hood

with your sweet juices dried fragrant

on my lips and fingers

It makes me want to renounce you

and discover flaws in your buttocks

and cinders in the light of your face

I wait for you to damage my appetite

so I can be something more

than a hungry man

waiting for the feast

with someone less hungry than he is
