...There are those engaged in pedagogy
To facilitate the drip... drip... drip
Of poison to accost a child's ear.

fleeing from homespun horrors that
wrapped around my delicacy like a tourniquet

Only a child attempting to bestir

Since I’d carried her torch—

Of love we knew nothing
During young naïve years
Of kissing and fondling

When the untravelled sea fills with brothers,
Pleasure rushes the uninhabited areas we just don't sail,
