I wrote two sonnets today. First, one about rocks. Then, another one about rocks, but now starting from (a variant on) the line “He cracked her open to her very core.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
O rocks, o little rocks, you small parts of the Earth
O rough detach\u00e8d flakes from off our Mother\u2019s skin
So tiny next to mountains, and yet their closest kin
O perfect building blocks for tender home and hearth<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I love you with a passion that burns more fierce than fire
And none of you\u2019ll remain to me as hard as stone
No longer need I pass my days and nights alone
I\u2019ll melt us all into the magma of desire!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now will we lose our form, and no more be ourselves
But unify into a single fluid state
Where there\u2019s no difference twixt pumice, granite, slate
And what the min\u2019ralist may else put on his shelves<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To flow into the Earth, into our Mother\u2019s heart
To be with Her again, and nevermore to part!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I crack her open to her very core
Her beating heart most tenderly denude
I lick my lips and laugh at whom I wooed
The rocks around are covered in our gore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me tonight, this handsome hairy dude?<\/em>
She wonders as she smiles \u2013 if slightly crude<\/em>
At least this Tinder date is not a bore!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her scorpion tails caress my naked back
They sting; and all too briefly we make out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One surge of pleasure \u2013 and the soul burns black.
Our bodies slump. The rocks but mutely stare.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
