Ode to Vicky

I can’t soar anymore

my wings are fine

it’s just my spirit

its broken.

My black child

white rimmed curves

So gentle

So subtle

Smooth and cold.

My child was difficult but when we played

she screamed.

Orgasm after orgasm

filled with an untamed spirit

that wailed like an exulted banshee

in the soft deep light of the moon

My fingers cramped

My shoulders arched

with ghastly pain

I sweated like deaths steaming black steed

and still she screamed

screaming more!

More!

Faster!

FASTER!

*

And I fell to my knees

exhausted

exhulted

and she would stop wailing.

Her spirit ridden

Tired but still hot

Coals glowing in the dark

Tired

Hot

Still yearning to be spurred on

still seething with life

Now my black child

she’s dead

Although her spirit still glows

My lungs are charred

black with the yearning for death

and I can’t fly anymore

My wings are fine

it’s just my spirit

it’s broken.
