Leisurama Porn Couples Dance
Amy King

     

If I dissolved my body surely
she would speed the process up.

But no one ever gave me this
initial kind of joie de vivre,

So I'm wracked with florid fears
and torn awry at the bone. In fact,

Open sesame with warning:
love-like life or fatal if swallowed.

Now the parked boat makes a sucking
slush against our harbor dock.

But how can the mother of us all
sustain her private population?

Though none of us deserves
to demonize, we end up coughing fits,
or sleepy, labeled slumberous engines.
