An Intimacy by Charles Bassi Beautiful woman dressed in blue Not my wife Highlights like stars in the night Of her hair Cheeks flushed with nectarine flush of blood From the center of her healthy heart Holds my penis in her hand Beautiful woman, nurse Dressed in light blue Dark hair with highlights like stars Leans over me With healthy and solicitous heart Clean smell of antiseptic soap Holds my wilted penis Into which she inserts Inch by inch by inch Long thin tube of catheter As I lie on my back Drugged out of time Staring into tiny black holes Of absent energy, my mortal life After angioplasty. |
