Crudity

The coming of life closes further

The valve of energy constricts again

My face rotates over your hands

Sliding into the mirror

Running into ripples of frowns

Waking steps of mercy cry out from your lips

Frozen spiders break the ice from their webs

Showering shards of glass into my mind

Under the doorway we kissed

Weeping and sobbing into our minds

I throw my soul at your feet

My crudity wraps your ankles

And asks for its own end

Slender visions back up in my mind

Sighing for release

And reconstruction from my prostrate form

December 1990
