The Brightest Branch
The brightest branch, or flower, or limb still casts
A shadow. If that limb, an arm or thigh,
Is masculine, the thickened shadow will
Be darker, wider yet. It might be sly
But brutal is more likely. Brutal power
Is one consideration in this scene.
No matter what the shape or size of flower,
Equivalence of penis makes it mean
The shadow will be loaded with intent.
The hairy thigh casts darkness wider like
The will to conquer. Maleness is content
With little else because its hairy spike
Defines its purposes in darkness, needs
Its will fulfilled, and wants to force its seeds.
