Christmas Morning Hand-Knit Socks
We made love this morning
Listening to the radio.
Two things going on,
Both giving pleasure, neither one
Distracting from the other.
Passion, sensitivity;
Sometimes coming, sometimes not.
This Christmas morning in your pair
Of rainbow-colored, hand-knit socks:
Radio and hand-knit socks
And sex
That rocks.

Ballet
It moves so naturally.
First, bodies side by side;
Quiet, tired, newly wakened,
Parallel – a back to front;
A shift, and than a front to back;
A shift, and then two legs
That cross two others –
Shift again, and lying on one’s back once more,
The other on his side.
And so, the shifting carries on:
A slow ballet.
A hand awakes. Massages
Small, attentive, soft. Still,
No one does a thing –
Makes no advances.
Not a kiss – but closeness.
Then, as if a miracle
[But still asleep]
A warm and stiffened
Natural extension slips naturally
Into its home; small home,
Warm home – and no one moves;
Not yet a movement.
But sensation, which aroused
From causes multi-
Subtle, partly
From the knowledge that there’s time,
And no one need rush up, rush out,
The time and freedom an essential,
Ballet ends.
The audience applauds.

He grabs my breast.
Just out of love
I touch his balls or dick or chest.
Just out of love there is no sex,
No heat, no passion, ecstasy,
Just passing touches,
Grabbings mild,
Biggles giggles
Childish-smiled;
Unplanned;
A frilly Wonderland.
His hand, my hand allowed a freedom
Without fear or looking forward:
No anxiety untoward: no
-I’ve a headache, dear.
-I’ve got to come.
-Too fast.
-Go slow.
-Right there.
-No here.
None of the forcing, so exhausting,
Stress producing
Taking,
Faking,
Digging into time above,
Not necessarily from love above.
When out of love I squeeze his thigh,
There’s nothing that I want.
It’s milk; it’s silk.
It makes me high – this passing by.
It is a statement made from joy.
This is a loving built on liking,
Built on leisure,
Equal to the nicest pleasure;
This is the fine, sunshine of body.

Half-awake I nod and smile.
You creep into my bed this morning.
Half-asleep we doze awhile.
You lay your kindly hand upon
Some body part. So undemanding.
Never do I feel a press,
(It feels fresh)
And slowly I awake to you
Welcoming as if it’s new.
Fifteen years tomorrow morn.
Fifteen last day Augusts gone..
I don’t know what’s to come
Or if we’ll come and I don’t care.
You’re there without one complex hair:
Love easily and lightly made.
Thank you Lord,
For this particular reward
We’re still allowed to share
In bed.

The Finger Moves (a little erotic poem)
The finger moves from side to side.
The finger knows it wants to hide.
The finger knows itself the bride.
The finger moves from side to side.
The finger moves inside the thigh.
The finger moves from low to high.
The mouth it makes a little cry.
The finger moves from side to side
It uses instinct as its guide.
The finger knows it has no pride.
The finger moves from side to side.
It doesn’t think. It isn’t wise.
It’s just a link and never lies.
It keeps away from prying eyes.
It holds itself to its own sighs.
With just a hint of slide and glide,
The finger moves from side to side.
The finger is without pretence.
It shies away from opulence.
It doesn’t tense,
It has no sense.
Its essence
Is the very soul of innocence.

Unaroused
It is a comfort
To lie next to you
And have my hand around your penis.
Hold it, roll it, doing nothing.
Passive sexuality
To bring about
The closeness
That was meant.

She Slept With Every Man
(The Many Roads To Freedom)
She slept with every man who
Asked her to.
Its intimacy
Gave, she said,
An empathy
For equalizing feeling. “Bed’s
A leveler –
The evil sides
Out of the way.”
I heard her say that and,
I understood and understand the spirit
Of iconoclastic thought.
It was detachment that she sought,
And that was just her way of getting it.
When it worked, it worked.
When it didn’t, well,
It didn’t –
And good riddance
And goodbye
To one more try
At psychologic chastity
Which in the end befriended her,
I hear.

Jean Harlow,
Marilyn Monroe,
Jayne Mansfield. Now,
What is it with these white-blonde pearls,
(Now four dead girls)
Who strove to please a male world
With busts and boobs and breasts enlarged,
Tossed curls,
Lost women, poor, poor souls,
Badge pledged
To their unwholesome goals.
Not dumb but numbed,
Early succumbed:
The platinum conundrum.
