Sexy, Sweet Poetry
"This is Poetry After All," an erotic poem by Dove Cochrane
He opened a fresh Sharpie
and handed it to me.
It's acid tang settled in my throat.
He watched as
I struggled to write
Property of -
on the Venus Mound
His Venus Mound
The shaved area above my sex
This is poetry after all
And it is his property
Carefully,
upside down and backwards,
from my point of view,
a kinder like scrawl.
Tiny razor bump and
the sharpie skipped, then
wobbled as it hit the dip of a faint stretch mark,
A souvenir from the child I bore.
PROPERTY OF -
Then with somber purpose, He
took the sharpie, and
signed his name.
