Sex

Sex

She dressed like a man with a white face smooth and hard. Hair slick as black shoe polish. Eyes dead, tear stains on the bed. Nothing true. Everything permitted. Sky was gray. She was pale. More I got to know her, more I didn't know if I liked her better as man or woman.

Watched her stagger down the street. Come to my dirty space of forbidden fruit.

I put gypsies in my arms. Sometimes missed the vein but it was still worth it.

I slept on subways. Bought tickets for the long and fast. Got sick from a cold wind. Fell asleep. Woke up in the holy place of cosmic consciousness dressed like a man with a white face smooth and hard. Hair slick as black shoe polish.
