The Figurehead

Take not these words into your bed
and there upon a lectern made
of milky thighs
yawn and read for sleep to come.
Better that your breasts were wood,
stained and deeply cleaved with need
to thrill, as men both old and young,
stripped to their waists, lean and plunge
against the capstan.
Round and round their lusty song
depraves the counting rooms of merchants
who narrowly at night return
to wives who sigh and long
for curtains.
The open sea; the rise and run
and rhythm of its poetry belongs
to you. Come.
Topless at the window stand
and with your hair blown back command
the resin of your lungs
to breathe.
