Hypertextual Memory
BY LENORE KANDEL (New York City, NY, 1932 - San Francisco, CA, 2009)
There are no ways of love but / beautiful
I love you all of them
I love you / your cock in my hands
stirs like a bird
in my fingers
as you swell and grow hard in my hand
forcing my fingers open
with your rigid strength
you are beautiful / you are beautiful
you are a hundred times beautiful
I stroke you with my loving hands
pink -nailed long fingers
I caress you
I adore you
my finger-tips… my palms…
your cock rises and throbs in my hands
a revelation / as Aphrodite knew it
There was a time when gods were purer
/ I can recall nights among the honeysuckle
our juices sweeter than honey
/we were the temple and the gold entire /
I am naked against you
and I put my mouth on you slowly
I have longing to kiss you
and my tongue makes worship on you
you are beautiful
your body moves to me
flesh to flesh
skin sliding over golden skin
as mine to yours
my mouth my tongue my hands
my belly and my legs
against your mouth your love
sliding. . .sliding
our bodies move and join
unbearably
your face above me
is the face of all the gods
and beautiful demons
your eyes. . .
love touches love
the temple and the god
are one
hard-skin
hand
Belly
Face
naked
Tongue Legs.
