Never be enamored of a poetess



Never
be enamored of a poetess who
writes with feathers and clouds
in December,
but, if you must,
allow her to whisper words and sounds;
let her caress your eardrum
with that subtle inflection
which tames hated beasts
by illiterate letters.

Though I warn -
don't open your heart
so that her tears combined with
the salt of your blood germinate
mornings on unicorns sprinkled
with snow flakes.

Never allow a poetess
to look into your eyes,
for you will see the moon burn
and the sun swim in oceans of roses;
your legs will break with spellbinding
pleasure born from her carnal wound.

Never walk by the hand of
a poetess under the dark
canopy of the night, for the
winds will come to lift
the ashes covering your name
engraved on the marble tombstone.
