Wrapped within a soft white
cotton blanket of denial
the child within the man
becoming less significant
and harder to engage
The dangerous scent
of her desire- I want her,
but I can't express my fear
at not being good enough
without sounding trite
or self-possessed
Passion-
the way Spanish men cry
'mami' to both their mothers
and their mistresses is its
own little twist of perversion
-the same way that the
blanket is really a
polyester blend

I would like to translate this poem
Truly the loveliest twist of perversion...brought smiles after the poem I just read brought me to tears. thank you, Sherri 10/10
