Caesura
a poetic pause for consideration and caresses
Published in

concupiscent sortilege, spellbound when spoken
provoking the urge for propriety, broken,
a pause for the passion, a breathless caesura;
Pierian tonic and tart Angostura
transferred from the lips to the neck, to the nucha,
the eyes like orbuculum scrying the future,
enamoured; the nerves of the skin, epicritic
ensuring decorum remains paralytic,
the bodies, bipartite now osculate; buccal,
our breathing suspires, a libidinous suckle
as thoughts in concordia taste even sweeter
and poetry flows like the robes of Demeter.
