Wet Rainbow
Three is the correct number.
There is always a base.
There are always three vertices.
There are always always (always) three sides.
There are always two bodies and one ghost to every fuck.
He's fucking you but his eyes are closed and he's seeing
the special bitch from three years ago, the one who ran
from his arms to complete a square.
"La bruja! Tus ojos son un arco iris!" the professor said to me
a couple of hours ago.
Thus. It's Halloween and I exist.
But yes I'm ready to go there, once more unto the breach, mis amigos.
Because on Sabado I dreamed of him and her
and then on Domingo he e-mailed me
and this is a sign
I'm too base to ignore.
He can close his eyes.
He can keep me in the darkest corner.
I come for the rainbow
and stay for the wet.
Most of us
are less than elegant
in design
and beautiful beyond comprehension
in execution
and ineffable
yet quite fuckable
in intent.

Wow. Good poem, good read. *
I love the dissatisfied tone of this, and the realization of how-things-are. Lovely in a brutal sort of way.
Super engaging piece! Can hear the persona/voice. The ending 8 lines are soooooo good. Love the sassy affirmation of "yet quite fuckable/in intent."
Too base to ignore, indeed. Marvelously base. *

"I come for the rainbow

So much in this riff that I LOVE. Such a Misti morning melody of which I simply want MORE! *
Thanks, Sam! Very glad you enjoyed.
Thanks mucho much, Gary and Robert. Very glad y'all dug this piece.
Yes to this. *
Hi Christian,
Thanks for the affirmation!
This poem's got it going on! *
Thanks, Tina!
I like it. I like the little skips in tone that take little trips from the main bone. I like the timing of it, its forgiveness, its knowing, anyway, and its daydreaming. *
Hi Ann,

Gorgeousness.
