‘Porn is a hell of not having … of infinite desire laid over the world on a screen.’
Porn
is a hell of not having
but seeing
the transposition
of infinite desire
laid over the world
on a screen
there is no resolution
to the seduction
of the symbolic
it remains
an impossible exchange
the object of desire
does not exist.
you are
as attractive
as you are
and have sex
when one woman
is not too tired.
but what you have
you have
through the trade of yourself
really the only currency
worthy of another.
this is the beauty
to remove the shades
from your eyes
and view yourself
and your love
unmediated
by the funhouse lenses
of the impossible.
how we have grown the impossible!
in ways beautiful and terrible
in images we create.
but let us make love
naked
as we are
flesh to flesh
this is the way
of honesty
we have trodden
for ten thousand years
seeding sons and daughters
flesh of our flesh
and bone of our bone.

Beautiful. Down to earth. Naked as honest lovemaking. Thank you.
Thought-provoking and oddly beautiful. Thank you.
