3 poems by Silvia La Rote

Psychal



a moon piling between two legs, let me

dwell on their lycanthropy.

i screw over after punches and remember nothing

of what the hood-men leave



scrambled there: sugared wrappers youth’s

bold simmered head of a cotton


mouth, there is blood, and mine, spore that isn’t

home or whole, so hidden it is un-questionable.

i imagine Self in this bad expanse

all loba, loosely scorned, too false-ly


lustful and slashing.



i want to feed them fully and rise up as what I feed.



 


Monsoon



the rut of the road deep and dry


tongue like cracked mud and then the monsoon of you


drowned my mouth in star milk and moon honey



and now every cell sweats to breathe



my tongue a torrent of wet longing



 

Religion

Body is the only holy

and to kiss is prayer.


Honey on tongue

is sacrament to the senses.

Breasts are of the goddess, and belly

is the temple- embers burn and divinity sleeps.



I am hungry to feed minds

and cries by fire



mind be body

mind be kiss

mind be honeyed tongue

mind be breasts

mind be blood

mind be belly infinite



flame and flesh

as one.



Fire in the snake’s eye

snake in the fire’s belly



is the only way

to heaven.
