-
We experience passion and often wonder why. If not sublime: devastating. The reason most commonly heard is to blame an instinct. Which: To lust; or to create?
The more difficult challenge, to my understanding, is to trace passions that create?
HOW
We engage the memory dust in an attic womb, unfold its parched map charted for ZEAL, FERVOR and ZEST, and then to track its winding folds to read the X marked for ecstasy.
And when we dig out this congenital gift, a caution for a threatening appetite is scribbled inside the box:
WARNING
This instinct locked in Chest
Craves to cook a passion stew
Brim to full erotic flavor
To simmer in its body's pot.
And when we taste this pungent mixture, though familiar, we did winch, and tried to mark the brand.

About the Book

Benumbed, I lay there sensing; no savoring in the rain; drenched, and with the raindrops splattering, spreading their translucent colors to have me rhyme, 'Debbie Debbie weighing sounds round and round her womb, womb.
