Let’s Begin…

Dirty

She’ll go home tonight

To her vibrator and fantasies

She’ll power it up

With batteries and electricity

And have an orgasm

Thinking about god knows what

But it’s lonely for her

Because when she’s done

And the vibrating stops…

She’s had her fill

She’ll lie next to nothing

And when she has a nightmare

She’ll reach for the man

She wishes was there but isn’t

And feel only cool cotton sheets

I envy that emptiness

That loneliness

I’ll scream out the window

For the whores to stop singing

Their song about nothing

But I’ll only be a dog

Barking at the moon

Baby Delilah Cries at the Moon

blackened baby hole,

a womb of concrete and water

impregnated two days ago

by fear, shame, and a rejection

of motherly love,

similar in means to Moses

but with opposing ends

aside from the audience
