The Invisible Nakedness Of The Body Poem by fabio vicentini

it can only be pathological

the human intense effort to confuse

the violence of sex for the intimal

desires that bodies to kindness infuse.


nature thus informed every animal

and from the leopard to the woodlouse

intercourse is the briefest interval

to be spent in rage before with ease doze,


then, forgotten the coital storm, grooming

joins private rifts in unified bodies

when conflict to irradiance brews, forming


no vaunt: the id is in all contraries.

alas we deem love for peering hands being,

when our felt proximity, naked, lays.
