Fuck Me Harder Sonnet 2
Julian T. Brolaski
Fuck me harder, leave the haters behind
As you know I am a slut for leisure
Arrest me on the mountain top’s incline
For I’ve klepted when I ought to please your
Neglected epic skin, and pull your hair.
When the ladies call my pigtails prairie
Step in, honey, and set the gender fair
Put me in a suit and call me Mary,
Transcoping this girl’s grist or that girl’s scope.
Holy monogram, how you like to tease,
Tender cufflink, I’m hurting for the grope
That sets my alpha at its churlish ease.
So strap me to the bed and knife my garter
Until I’m screaming baby fuck me harder.
just churned this out in a few minutes
My family has a history of engineers & public service positions
Remembering my first death:
tiny, sneakered feet
that pitter-patter down the sidewalk
and up to wooden porches
to hear that Mr. Wheeler,
the old man down the street,
has had a heart attack.
***
Sitting at the top of the stairs
in the hallway, by a bookcase
pressing pages to my nose
for that ancient, musty smell.
***
The mineral maple leaf map
of my childhood might
just be enough if what you want
is to navigate my intersections.
Slut” is how we vilify a woman for exercising her right to say “yes”. “Friendzone” is how we vilify a woman for exercising her right to say “no”.
