Where the kids breathe and their mothers quarrel

18th December 2008

glazed gazing at the hollows of her thighs
I thought about the places where the body folds
and eats itself
where cream breast
meets rib
hollow points, shallow

places we want to see and have seen and not be seen for jerks
places we want to touch and be touched and not be taken for rides

dark meeting sincerely
you push
I cave
I push
you burrow
you laugh
I quiver
you shake
I come

boys and girls of all colours and sizes size me up to stand down and
I need them to strike me soon
I need to be felt outrageous

    Yes, I think it means I need to masturbate more often.

    I like the second stanza very much but for the life of me I can’t connect the title with the poem.
