YOUR LIPS ARE LIKE
by Steve Blackburn
YOUR lips are like
an endangered coral reef
marine animals
from the class Anthozoa
that exist as small sea anemone-like polyps
that I want to stick my tongue in between
Your eyes are like
the eyes of starving Ethiopian children
big and brown and bright
When I gaze into them
I want you to eat my heart
Till it makes your belly bloat
If my love for you is wrong
then let it be as wrong as wrong can be
as wrong as ethnic cleansing,
and burning as fierce
as the Amazon forest
Your breasts then are like
the Twin Towers
and my cock a
terrorist-seized aeroplane
come to make you fall
like the infidel you are
