The Problem with Porn

 

I’m not much for pro basketball; 
6-6 250 are not numbers in my world, 
and I will not make as much money 
in sixty years as Kevin Garnett 
makes in as many minutes. I travel 

to five different cities in a year 
and don’t have a girl waiting 
in any of them. But there is ecstasy 

in sliding left at the top of the key 
and draining one from sixteen feet 
over the outstretched hands 
of an opponent, and the pook 
of a ball on string is as sweet as silk 

sliding to her ankles. When I pivot 
and point at the guy who fed me 
the ball I am saying “thank you, buddy, 
for making this moment real.” My girl 

has small boobs and gags 
when she blows me, she won’t eat 
pussy or let me cum 
on her face. But when she lifts 

her nightgown hem and smiles 
I know my timing 
is just right, and when I ride 

her bedspring rhythm 
and smother my groans 
in the side of her neck 
I am saying “thank you, baby.” 

-Erik Michaels 



Renewal

with impatient loins,  slow
flowing bloom burst nipples
and snow melt eyes.
She turns my snow to dandelion fluff
peels away dark barren layers
to find me pink and waiting.

Her tongue is butterfly wings
testing and teasing,
giving life.
I grow and stretch to wards the sun.
She smiles and settle
taking me in her afternoon hands,
a pleasant somnolent bath
of lustful attention.
Then she,
who has been neglected during winter,
draws life from me
with her mouth,
her fingers,
her fertile core.
Honeysuckle dwelling.

Tim McGovern




You Came to My Bed

I slept, last night, with the front door unlocked.
I didn’t mean to, but it slipped my mind.
I also left a light on in the kitchen,
which may have had an effect on things, because
you opened the door and gazed in on my form.

I cracked an eye, to see you seeing me
cold, half-covered, naked in my bed —
man that I am, clothes rumpled on the floor —
and full of tenderness,  you came and lay
beside me,  simply,  and sighed.

I smelled wildflowers from miles and miles around,
felt feathery wisps of newborn leaves, warm zephyrs,
as you touched my face and whispered some unknowns
that stayed behind. Those breaths were made of spring,
that’s all I know. And then there came an instant

when half your skin meshed oh! with half of mine…
I pulled you close, with hunger, love and need,
and breathed you in, exhaling all my pain,
taking you in love, and giving mine...
and we’ve never even met.

Hind Brain Secret

send me up, kneeling,
teeth on silver buckle of Orion's belt

waiting for that low down
crawl and growl
that only comes in the
burn of solar winds
pelting skin into submission
space, void, vacuum.

Cassiopeia
Sagittarious
aim both gaze and arrow

while whisper and press,
claw and clench
send a cerebral cloud
into reptilian crawl.

deep and low down sounds
that come only from that place
between teeth and
surprise introductions
to that deep beast
inside mirror glare recognition

Just
words and invitation 
arouse electric desire 

in my sleep 
I hold your information quiet 

you have spoiled me 
tonight I just long for you, just you 
out from zipper, out for me 

for me 

a cock hungry woman 
not a poet, just a whore 
taking you in my mouth 
by the book, on my knees 
as you hold hands tight on hotel radiator 
looking out the window into the parking lot 

not scenic, just an industrial park 
truckers and travelers sleep and pass 
this is not a destination. 
nothing grows here except 
highway rumble. 

and in my mouth it is just you 
not a poet, you 
raw and real 
uncomplicated by adjectives 
and symbolism 

nothing to post 
pretend, prepare, picture 


just you 
out of denim 
into mouth 
as long as it takes 

just give me your cum 
I will take it without asking for salt, 
fantasy or friendship 

you can come loud and 
hard in my mouth 
truckers and travelers might hear, 
but that is to be expected 
it is every day 

it is not poetry it is just sex 
pounded hard and loud against glass 
clouds and drops 
fist and knuckle
