Carabiners Poems | Examples

Tongue Spelunking

lets double
check our gear

heavy duty
helmet topped with
a light an underneath
chin strap as well as 
a body 
harness

check

at least fifty yards of
rope with ten pitons
each and as many 
carabiners comfortable
for one to
carry

check

now gather round
and take a look at
where we're hoping
to climb and yes i know
we are known as spelunkers
but this is more an orifice trip

it seems there is some
dissent about our descent
i assure you some of these
orifices are seemingly endless
dangerous but satisfying so by
a show of hands how many are we

just me
i see it's that
way that no one
truly wants to explore
just to stay safe and do the
usual two minutes in then out

but i i'm
going to give
her a go simple
foreplay in the shallows
of her bellybutton surely
to be taken in by the sheer

awe of
the unknown
but a sense of
fleshy familiarity yet
not knowing the feeling
of loneliness but that of being one
