FEEDING THE DOG

Some females
are lightning quick
with the kung fu
reach in cobra fast
grab heart
yank
rip it out your chest
and youíre standing there
watching it
taking it
as she bites your blood pump
like a ripe apple
the
red drops of your relationship
dripping
down the corners of her mouth
as you wonder
what the hell you did
to deserve this
and she will smile
and if you beg she will laugh
and if you force yourself on her
she will scream
and feed your balls
to the neighbor’s dog
she never liked that neighbor
but she fucked him anyway
just so
she could have that dog handy
–some bitches are like that.

STEAK & FRENCH FRIES

that moment
when you take in the breath
hold it
she’s on top
moving in slow circles
you think about Jesus
burning on the cross
you can call it
tantric
sex magic
or some other bullshit
but it’s really
just
holding your breath
while relaxing
with a little time
travel
thrown in
the same feeling
you get
when suddenly
on too big of a wave
or rushing down
rabbit fast
on the powder
you hold the world
still
inside your gut
love fills your heart
even if your veins
are clogged with American
fast food
the pump
like mystic Oriental gong
flows
until the last note
sung
against your fragile lips.
