hints on health
you touched my skin
in the crowded afternoon
my blood like a bloom
warm and erected
our bodies are useless
in winter
my need for excess
diminishes to the pursuit
of damp delights
that is to say:
wine
in childhood i thought
heaven would be full of rich
girls gossiping
sleeping lavishly
admiring faces in the night
i had a youth of seclusion
but still i had
a languid appetite
and i did prosper
even in the dark
