oregon duet at cougar hot springs
a quiet place
but for sounds of bark-stained sex
from hippie groins awake to flesh
water womb - hot
scalding scolding
flesh burned pure in kali's cistern
mother's tomb not father's holding
stabat mater dolorósa
jesus mary vishnu kali
each from each to you for doubting
me the mary on your flesh
the smell of nets pulled slowly from the sea
