Return of the denied

Say I hate you during lovemaking type.

If an owl’s flexile neck borrowed I for short time

My eyes might read

What along my longing canvas her long, reaving claws inscribed.

My ear her mouth our one-counted skins united

She squawked unawkwardly a diatribe

Pleasure how she expounds

Pleasant how when faraway she crowds my present.

Talkative couplings by buttery firelight, tumescent.

It is the Nemean Lion whom I lie beside;

12 labours mine.

Her backraking nails are sabres

Her tongue with St Brendan’s wanderlust

Thronged with tastesight my honourless, unwalked places.
