Day 5, Poem 5: Letter To a Literary Demigod (draft)

How do you feel
on your throne
of scrolls
containing
enlightenment
pain
sex
fear
God
The Gods
and Goddesses
death
laughter
mythological beasts
jazz
the blues
tropical rhythms
tribal drums
You are
an apparition
mighty warrior
spirit
your breath
words of fire
in their bellies
hard cocks
vulvae twitching
on each
inflec-tion


At your fingertips
golden locks
nappy heads
straight and curled
boys and girls
ripe
open
hungry
eager
adoring you
hanging on every
word
dripping
from your mouth
dripping
for you
they swoon
and coo
and you
you know

How does it feel
a pile of bodies at your
feet
limbs entwined
hungry
searching
wanting
crawling over each other
to get to
you
to have you
consume you
every word
suck you up
like rum
from a bellybutton
douse you with
oil
anoint you with
lemon peels
bathe you
in tequila
and lick
the salt from your
writhing skin
