Kept Image
a childhood returned
this morning
mother dragging us
needy and feral-
haired
it's my older cousin on top
draining inside of me
yesterday's
first man
desire like pumping water
nights he sailed into me
enlisted
I was 10
pain along the shoals
but how
could I fend off
familiar skin
with what:
my almost fists
my obedient holes?
