Hard and Soft
The virgin wearing her mantilla for
Her crinoline bewitches men along
The street. They feel their semen soar
Among their ribs. They hear her silent song
Commencing from her masklike face that turns
To left and right but looks at none of them.
Because she does not notice them, they burn
Their hearts like incense. They would touch her hem,
Mantilla, crinoline its forms, to heal
Themselves of being masculine and hard.
Behind her mask her human eyeballs steal
A glance at crotches, bulging glands, grand, hard.
She chooses one. She marks the features of
His face and swears that she will give soft love.
