The Ecological Apocalypse Poem by Erica Jong

The Ecological Apocalypse

Rating: ★2.7


Because he dreams of seeding the world with words
his eyes bite
She looks He looks away
He is snow-blind
from staring at her breasts
They make love
This is marked by asterisks
those gaps
disguised as stars

***
He thinks the future is a mouth
She invites him
into her apple
