Rise and Shine

the sun is breaking
my icicle is melting
the cow needs milking

take the teets
squeeze between
fingertips rhythmically
pulling while she's

pushing my buttons
undoing exposing
hairy cleavage

undying though
trying to attain
la petite mort
sorting and shuffling

shoveling grey matter
just a matter of time 
garden hose watering

the flower
powder my hand
to throw a spit ball
strike three you're out

Ah, La Petite Mort. Drove me to distraction. ;) I was with a gallery by that name for three years. Lots of evocative imagery in this one. xomo
