A man’s head & him continue walking

At the scent of peaches.”

i used to think sex was just
a mirror
you’d stand before
+ see monsters
now i know it’s something alive
you slide a knife into
that doesn’t even bleed

“I Want So Desperately to be Finished with Desire” by sam sax
:
after all my labor
pleasure arrives
inelegant as ever
secondhand chandelier
onion sound
the gutter that grunts
back at you when you spit
in its mouth
//
even with my hand inside him
he’s somewhere else
//
the shipwreck leaves
the paired animal bodies
floating & bloated with salt
//
everyone drags all their past
lovers into bed
all their past beds
& public toilets & foil pipes
& park benches & cutlasses
& cigarettes
& the deadbolt & the dead
