Berries Jubilee~

~hmmm~

a living table

marble white

veined with patterned ink

curved with a wolf hip

a butterfly belly

and cherry blossom shoulder

on display

for fingertips

plucking berries

from the bowl of the middle Eve

the side curve of Pandora

where sins are buried under

the floating rib

floating

in a dream

of water

amidst the pine scented aroma

of a hall

filled with men in suits

armour in their amorous eyes

 

and if I were to roll sideways

and scatter all the berries

in a jubilant rush

from my thighs

would these men

with rich pockets

and empty lives

understand the significance

of a little match girl

throwing her flame

into their fire

 

I don’t claim to have the answers

to totemic moments

all I have is a body

for berries jubilee

covering my night

a mask of boysenberry velvet

covering my eyes

so that these fine gentlemen with full wallets

and empty lives

can eat of my flesh

and drink of my wine

without ever having

to humanize

their living table

of marble white

 

and I think I am alright

with this

I think

I prefer this

as I learn my sensual trails

in the patterns their fingertips

leave behind

in berry stains

I see . . . .if anyone is going to victimize this girl well then she is going to be the one who victtimizes herself, which negates the victim mentality and she comes to hold all the sexual power over the men who would suck her dry and strip her of her dignity.

You explore the complexities of psychosexual behaviors with expertise and poetic allure.

You're delicious. The raw exposure of human sensuality palpitates the imagination, creating the scene from your exceptional and arousing images. Subtle and sexy. The shades of sin city percolate under the inferred veils hinting at the darker sensualities behind the apparent content. You're good, Selene, the best.

Wonderful. Dark, nasty and wonderful. An affirmation of life and independance amidst a reduction to tableware. As sharp as a torn fingernail. Marvelous romanticised language and phraseology against the nature of the poem. Wonderful read. Must return to your work.
