Hwy 38 winds among stacked limestone hills
and black Jack, stunted from a third cut mentality
that seems to match the attitudes about change
that exist all along the corridor leading
to the Upper reaches of the Gasconade.

We got stares when we stopped for gas
disapproval and suspicion evident in every
unblinking eye that took us in.

You wore shorts and a checked shirt
unbuttoned three that let the swell of you
tempt my eyes, and cried "Hussy" to right wing
revisionist that would re-write the words
of "God" to fit some comfort level that denied
human touch was pleasure.

I suffered not that week
from fire and brimstone strictures
but was instead filled with embers that lusted
to flame before in an end we were coated
cold
with ash.

It was later,
when I pulled the book from its wrapper
and wrote,
"I found their eyes to be hot
as they explored the length of your leg
and the swell of your chest, but cold,
when it came to meeting the idea you were more
than some passing toy."

I heard you rustle the sheets
and so I closed the pages
on another piece of this passage
and reached for your skin
to fall into the prayer
that was love

"Save me?"
you said.

This was an amazing write.


"You wore shorts and a checked shirt
unbuttoned three that let the swell of you
tempt my eyes, and cried "Hussy" to right wing
revisionist that would re-write the words
of "God" to fit some comfort level that denied
human touch was pleasure."

A very sexually stimulating passage, a political rant, and a moral observation all within the same stanza. Brilliant!!!
