B<\/span><\/p>\n

O bulbous periwinkle,<\/span>
\n sunk in sodden goldenrod sand.<\/span>
\n Your valve sets me a-tingle.<\/span>
\n Let me hold you in my hand.<\/span><\/p>\n

C<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the rim of your cavity I\u2019d crawl,<\/span>
\n plunge into the pond within your grotto.<\/span>
\n Treading in water, I\u2019d await your call<\/span>
\n immersed in ambiguous indigo.<\/span><\/p>\n

D<\/span><\/p>\n

Your quivering pink ebony flesh resents<\/span>
\n the burnt sienna sack in which it\u2019s clothed.<\/span>
\n Free yourself from those ashen pigments.<\/span>
\n Your body is not chattel to be loathed.<\/span><\/p>\n

F<\/span><\/p>\n

To the pewter tines of you as cap<\/span>
\n I prefer your curves in small case longhand,<\/span>
\n gathered and cinched at the crux of your lap<\/span>
\n — then unknotted at your command.<\/span><\/p>\n

G<\/span><\/p>\n

Let me confess with this salacious squib,<\/span>
\n your lissome swerves lure me to jot<\/span>
\n (the tip of my tongue a pliable nib)<\/span>
\n notes on your lavender\u00a0lollipop spot.<\/span><\/p>\n

H<\/p>\n

Pronounced or not, always upright
\n— what holds you together, H,
\nmale left and female right,
\nis that horizontal brass hitch.<\/p>\n

P \/ Q<\/span><\/p>\n

Not to importune, Sir or Madam,<\/span>
\n but,\u00a0in\u00a0the spectrum, what\u2019s your hue?<\/span>
\n Whatever we are is random.<\/span>
\n But do you<\/i> prefer P or Q?<\/span><\/p>\n

Y<\/span><\/p>\n

O woven woman, your sheer nylons<\/span>
\n make me woozy, your phylogenetic<\/span>
\n lips, your cadmium\u00a0thatch, its\u00a0ions<\/span>
\n and pheromones, real and synthetic!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
