Reverence


REVERENCE

Reverence and again reverence
Reverence to her, whose corset dropped
Bare, bold, beyond limits
Reverence...reverence to her beauty
Reverence, for her tender flesh is near
Reverence, for her flesh is meek as milk
Reverence, for her flesh is flashlight in a dark room
Reverence, for her wetness envelops the seeds
Reverence, for what is sown in flesh is burst out from the skin
Reverence, for sex is the prayer that returns you to the whole
Reverence and again reverence

MISTER WAZOBIA


WAZOBIA

For fear of dying
Wazobia fled from incensed elements
From storms that raged
From furious thunderclaps

For fear of dying
Wazobia ran into the sepulchre
Of buried dreams
And hid inside a coffin
All for fear of dying.
