Fellatio Botanica

cumberson

flop & frill

turbulence tipsy heads

lush corpulent with enlightened perfumes

vagio arpeggio

my dear festering & mulled maw of yearning

& delight

I stuff you like a lipstick-stained bar napkin

into my rattlesnake codpiece &

walk & wiggle

with your petals & waxy cup of worthy crowns

until they give forth their bouquet & stain the aroused chaps

until the hair on my legs yearn for the western we never made together.

& then i line my cowboy boots with those waxy febrile pulsating petals

& then wrap the wisteria tite around myt neck as a shoestring tie

you know

the way fashion models line their eyes with a kohl stolen from an indian night,

the way trashbait paint on the pollen with their quivering lashes

the way parking lot delinquents brush aside traffic violations

the way teens stuff their bras with bad novels.

the way I pour forth my liquor of yearning into my

boot.

the way i put on that boot to walk home

across bridges made of glossy photos of you in various states of botanic

hothouse disarray

in the confused perfume that coulda been the fuck of me & you.

& when I get home i pour the essence into a syringe

& the way the pinprick drinks it into my foreskin &

if hallucination is real the scars blue

from the reeling into sharp objects,

in that voluptuary

perfumed whirlpool of fuck me flora &

bestial bontanica gnawing away thru to the sorrowful marrow.
