Rough Sex

This master of dance forms
Led not by tender grasp of hand.
A clutch of hair pulled back, offering ivory throat
Began the waltz.

Arms around your neck...embracing? No!
Hanging on
For fear, of 
                            falling
          falling leaves equinox trees
          Through his window show
          ballet of gold
          and red and brown
          Color never so real and loud
          til pleasant pain shocked her
          Yin/Yang cold fusion

Persephone went down
Submitting to autumn smoky death
Sailing back to life on spring rivers
Fluid alchemy borne of violent thrust

Overlord Prince Master
Holding, taking
Harder, faster
Teeth to breast
Nails to flesh
Curve to line
So becomes the Androgyne
