Fragmenting with Sappho
Please
Please,
My Darling,
Don't be so fucking gentle.
I won't break,
Although I may moan a little
If your tongue is
As nimble as your brain.
My Darling,
Don't be so fucking gentle.
I won't break,
Although I may moan a little
If your tongue is
As nimble as your brain.
Garlands
I must have done well
When I slept with her
As she remembers me fondly
And garlands me with her poetry.
When I slept with her
As she remembers me fondly
And garlands me with her poetry.
Whisper
Several millenniums
And deliberate destructions
Cannot shout down
What I whisper in your ear.
And deliberate destructions
Cannot shout down
What I whisper in your ear.
Peach
A peach tree
Requires gentle tending.
Do you prefer
Freestone or clinging?
Requires gentle tending.
Do you prefer
Freestone or clinging?
Ocean
I suppose
That the ocean could
Swallow me
When she calls,
But I have known her for a while
And do not believe that
That is her plan.
That the ocean could
Swallow me
When she calls,
But I have known her for a while
And do not believe that
That is her plan.
Along the Shoreline
She walks with me along the island seashore,
Her arm draped fondly upon my shoulder,
And whispers her words for my ear alone,
So I might speak them when my moment comes.
Her arm draped fondly upon my shoulder,
And whispers her words for my ear alone,
So I might speak them when my moment comes.
