Heave

Heave!
And bleed with their
Jagged fingernails,
Crush your eyes closed
And inhale the soiled
Cotton, fists clinched with it,
Pounding and breaking,
Shattering with thudding smiles!

Heave!
And stretch toward the streams
Where snake-vines shimmy
Toward the breaks
And coil-rush up silken calves
To burrow into the blood-meat
Of the chubby thighs!

Heave!
And cry onto the red hand-welts,
Bathe in the pureness
Of the echo in the slaps,
And be baptized in the stings
As the bruise polyps onto the skin!
