acceptance daughter,
he
will love you with
whatever rises into and thru
him, be it geared
grease of the
throbbing cycle, or bamboo
growing so fast you can hear
it thrusting past last year's
dry tubes; he will
charge you from the
valley
bottom to the rhythm
of the mill, or thrill you to
the tune
of past poets'
scheming rhymes; from the
near-dormancy of planted cold
potatoes lying in the clay or
the jolting judder of the
outboard,
from the gut
or heart or hard-on of industry
or intellect; open your slender
legs and shoulders to his
shuddering passage; he
will unthinking and
unheeding pass
into you some seed rendered out
of what has got him, at
least till he must, jealous, guard
some left against his few
remaining
years Contact
