lyrics

Yes, They Are Love Poems ...

For days when I think
only of touching your lips : Earth

begins at these feet, rises
up through the bones. Deep
feelings spread out from
the clenched heart, the old
moan sounded

before men's dawn. Teenage summers,
I moved toward the heat of metal and cushions,
gearshift & gas pedal forgotten, brake & radio
on. Lips on lips, areas possessed
that have since become

common ground. Torn asunder,
the pink veil of charity & red of lust
resume in a new world. Habit
cloaks women forced by destiny
to huddle by new fires, not

entirely alone. Dark
speaks your name.

I nightmare tornadoes & the last man,
15 years ago
who loved me with equal's gain. He
carries my child & leads the other by the hand. Man,
touch the values of the sexes
with a gentle tongue. I seem

a plaster vixen, but tremble,
wanting your skin on my
dream alone ...

-Wendy Joan Knox
