Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. Leonard Cohen

Love Bites

From Boris Hoppek's Tokyo exhibit "Ever"
Am I pleasing to the eyes, love?
Is my skin glistening with
the luster of pearl?
Is my flesh fresh and firm?
And my scent
Is it clean and new?
I wish to be flawless, whole
when I offer myself to you, love
Then you will see
what competent and thorough work you do
when you tear me apart.
