A social site for poets in Sydney.
love touches
but cannot be touched
nurtured by faith
and virtue
it always betrays
grooms itself
with barbiturates
health foods
fat austerity gluttony
lust virginity
fucking generosity
and greed
everything in it
contradicts
cuts and bleeds
dies detached
like out-of-season fruit
fallen from a tree
with hungers to feed
this whore-son-bitch squats
in the nucleus
of our need
i know because
love’s ambiguity
is a cliché
fear security glue
i know because
i’m not attracted
to your heart
your soul a hole
or any other part
i know because
when i hold you
i hold you...
and yet like art
we stand apart
and bringing out
the best affirm
what is true
because i more
than love you
