Chivalry

Coupled, they brave the storm
and critical exposure
forced by the storm to form
a perilous enclosure.

Under its salvo, they
press shivering shapes together
to limit the foray
of such unholy weather.

Embedded thus, they dare defy
the higher forces. Yet
his chivalry is impotent.
For nature soaks her wet.

To The Lizard On My Tree

Tell me truly, Satan skin
     crawling up my aging tree
     what have you come to do this time?
     what else is left to snatch from me?

     I used to love your furtive moves
     the feisty flicking of your tongue;
     watched senseless as you stripped my tree
     and fouled my fruit (aah,
     we were young!)

     Yet even now you never fail
     to eye my withering property
     cold-blooded creature haul your tail
     what else is left to pluck
     from me?

His Gift

God made her as his gift and she, once laid
beside the luscious, tempting limbs, acceded
to profane acts under God’s Sacred Tree
and slurped the ill-timed juice, the god-damned seed.

She gave him some; and he did not refuse
her, joining instead the mutinous ménage
against the Trinity. They tasted heaven
and in that moment bit the dust 
of earth.

And now they curse: they curse the Interloper
who came and threw their timing out of joint,
spilling truth - with lies - all to seduce her;
they curse their God for what He gave them - choice.

And since that time, engorged with sweat and dust
they dread the right to choose more than their lust.
