OLD MAN’S LOVE

OLD MAN’S LOVE

Morn’s love – hell fire,
Rage into the pit,
Lust and action not yet split.

Evensong – a candle’s flame,
A flicker on the brink of dusk.
On easy breezes,
Snail’s slow fuck.

TRUE LOVE

How calmly I observe
– from the niche between your thighs –
other women now.
Behavioral scrutiny,
A clinical research of physiognomy.

No participant observation,
Their lust outside my own.
Merely the soul’s distant eye.

second version

From inside the niche between your thighs

I spy other women – with a clinical eye.

Behavioral scrutiny, extraterritorial, aloof.

Detached research of female physiognomy

No participant observation, this –

Their lust outside my own.

Merely the soul’s distant eye.
