Double-edged

Some readers may find this next sonnet offensive.  If you might be offended, do not read it.

         Double-edged

He lies beside a man tonight.  It means

He looks for love.  Another night he lay

Beside a woman.  His discarded jeans

And boxers mean one thing.  That night, today,

No matter where his sleeping thighs are spread

Their hairiness is marker of a man

And not a boy.  There on his slumbering head

Some three-day whiskers stick out through his tan

That makes his beauty sexier outright

As if a sorceress or warlock cast

A spell on him while sleeping so the sight

Of him becomes heroic Jason’s mast

And widespread sails in search of Golden Fleece,

Adventure, slammed excitement, and then peace.
