Persephone’s Advice
Listen, listen, listen:
Nothing is more pleasurable
To a woman
Than to be
Skillfully awakened
By adept lover in
Circuitous route
Slowly, slowly, slowly:
In the bare skin
Of moonlight
With cascading fingers
Of liquid tendrils
Enticing treasure
With the exhale of breath
Softly, softly, softly:
Let her continue
In the in between of
Sleeping and waking
The milky manner of dreams
The fragile flower
Pale petals unfold
Careful, careful, careful:
A lion waits for
Your supplication
In the unraveling knot
Of the thigh’s bloom
Crouched and ready
To devour you, deliciously
