Zips Buttons
for S.R-S.

at the circus, cock inside her
world to ride on, ride to whirl on

what acrobats
intercourse makes of us

on her back in my bed
sex to get on top of

a girl and a boy
on top of the world

unable to put it off another minute
off with their clothes

dropped them on the floor
in a chair

a piece or two found hangers
to hang on

no longer able
to ask the other to hang on
until the right time came

she had a hollow he had to fill
he thought she’d have hollered
instead he did

she was like a lamb
except for her shuddering

he thought she was laughing
she might have been weeping
washed in tears

long time she wanted him
to tear her clothes off
tear her legs open

could no longer wait
the wait as well as the weight of it
too much to bear

at the circus, cock inside her
world to ride on, ride to whirl on
