BRAZILIAN WAX

"The wrinkles and creases on our faces are the registration of the great passions, vices, insights that called on us; but we, the masters, were not at home."
--Walter Benjamin
--"The Illuminations"


Your pain
has given me
much pleasure.
I've tasted
a lush samba
inside your V.

Your tongue,
flicked me,
like cool feathers
across sun baked
& sex starved
memories.

Hasn't everyone
enjoyed this
with their lover--
I think
not.
They're merely
pedestrians
who have to look
both ways
before crossing.
