Lady G. Poem by RIC BASTASA

unperturbed your eyes
as gentle as the dark night without the noise of the city
like a blackout

we are in bed. Tight
close
warm
and our armpits sweat
like hell

we sleep after
that silence moving like the cool air
from the open window
moving throughout our throats
deep inside our lungs

nothing about the heart
just pure pelvic
pubic
engagements

what 's love got to do with this?
my mind keeps saying.

busy lips and sweet smooth tongues.
after it is over

nothing to say about. we come to our senses.
back to work. nothing to write.

it tries to seep like warm water to foam.
soak my soul.

i dismiss this. So unimportant. But there is one thing
i fear.

Love knocking again for another round tonight.
Next weekend.
