Animal Man - 1969

awkward embraces
by two strangers
are guided
by need

i need,
your body
raises mine,
instincts feed

the room
stifles enjoyment as
the cigarette smoke
burns my eyes
and my hands
keep searching

EXPLOSION

nature lets loose
a flood
my skin
quivers with excitement
as your breast
brushes my cheek

the taste of you
is warm
and glows

reason dies

There is no doubt that the discovery of desire is something that upsets all that is known about the world, especially for one who lives in the world of thought. The neat ordering of the world is shattered. Deeply held convictions that man is rational, that purity is wholesome and the most natural state of being for one who professes to be a Christian. All this dies with discovery that one is bound to the instinctual of the human species. The days of sainthood disappear, never to be recaptured. Man is a messy being.
