STEEL AND SILK
STEEL AND SILK
My love like steel and silk
cuts through you
splutters your blood
watermelon juice down a throat
Wipes it with yellow silken ribbon
For you to suck afresh
That you may find your
Godly seed within
My love like dragonflies and bees
Silently landing on stamen or pistils
Alchemising nectar into patterned
dust upon transparent wings
Earth rewards my love with morning glory
steel severs sunflower stems
silkworms crawl into a wet rose centre
pollen stolen in the dew
My steely silken love refreshed
from your flowered stickiness
