sheet of paper

 

teases me

with its randy glare,

 

pellucid, parched

 and humid gaze of a widow

 

craving for my poetic semen

to fill its womb.

the calm of an empty street

 

and as persistent stains

from the wet cups and glasses

 

at the local tea stalls

who would whisper in your ears?

 

Hunger and poetry

cannot stay in the same hut.
