One last post before I go to Amsterdam for a week.

Upon reading this poem you’ll probably think: what is this smut? Then you’ll probably read it again and realise that it’s not about sex at all, quite the contrary. Then you’ll read it a third time and come to the conclusion that it was about sex, after all. That’s because these two themes (yes, I’m leaving you to guess the second one) are inexorably linked; we’re obsessed by this juxtaposition because ultimately it is what everything, the whole of human society, is based upon. I called the poem ‘Anticipation’, since this is what our whole lives are spent anticipating. Take that how you will.

Anticipation

Oh, but I love you!
You are merciful
You do not ask me to endure
What I cannot endure
Softly you call
I feel your breath
On the nape of my neck
Sends a shiver down my spine
God
And I close my eyes
Imagine you encompassing me
Swallowing me whole
Into your black velvet mass
Your nothingness caressing me
Sweet, sweet silence
Not having to wonder anymore
I surrender myself to you entirely
Take me, take me
I have no need of anything else
I am yours
My every pore, every follicle
I press my lips against yours
Tasting the anticipation you garner
You fit me like a glove
We were made for one another
Don’t you see?
I wish to meet you on my own terms
Do not worry, I come to you gladly
To touch you, to touch you
I feel you close, so very close
Soon you shall be
Within me
Wholly a part of me
Not even a part
For I shall become you
Soft, soft
I fall upon you
We become entwined
Oh, be mine, be mine
No longer am I a coward
I stare into your lovely face
See your perfect arched wings
You are liberty, liberty
And you shall set me free
No more pain, no more suffering
Just you and me
Forever and ever
For all eternity
Oh, but I love you!
