Celibacy

crispy emotions smogged sans thoughts
dripped solutions damping draws 
on the innocence of the naked ape 
bathed her in flaws, flap-doodles create.  
 
A stride.  
Moistened feet pasted 
prints on fractured lips  
on the terrane tried  
corruption of texture  
deflowering structure 
 
yet she celebrates celibacy  
turning suitors down; 
"I'm a virgin" 
her chant, her song 
 
forgetting the sexual congress  
colonialism had held with her in her bed.
