degenerates of the crags and the coves

we spoiled at the sunless feet of redwoods

.

a churning bazaar of golden slugs

our slow and sour stripping

.

of perception left us to navigate

an endless bed of wet needles

.

there was no containing the thrill

of moonlit rendezvous

.

our bodies caked in dirt

rose-naked and drunk with thirst

.

we drew in

the coniferous dew

.

what ecstasy of myth was unearthed

to concoct such exquisite smut

About the Creator

Sean

A lover of soft cheese and delayed gratification. I prefer plants to people, more often than not. Dirt is my medicine and filth a form of therapy. Most of these words should find a home among compost but hey, at least I'm still writing.

    Your final line - just the right twist to make it all yours and new to our eyes! There's a neighbourhood called Bonnie Doon in my city - I was excited to see if you are a fellow resident, but I assume that you have the original location, whereas I have the staid residential and decrepit mall version...

    “Exquisite smut” is a new idea to me! Wonderfully sensory-rich poem
