Poems

Post Scriptum

I want to write
an erotic poem
in which raw words, unadorned,
become beautiful
where metaphors are unnecessary
and breasts, for instance,
do not become hills
nor a woman’s body a sultry landscape
nor intercourse ‘the most intimate embrace’.
 
It’s quite clear
this poem is written in the space
between exposure and concealment
between hypocrisy and true feeling.
