Woman
your afterscent still catches on
in my hairs
      years after I straddled you

forgive, if you wish
the damage long done:
its imprints yet raw in your mind
      I know  

to forget is harder
but pleasure weakens resolve
oil is thicker than blood
      we both know

& so I sidestepped morality
& gave full rein to forceful entry   
my thrusts gouged
     cut pipelines through your breast & loins

earth burst  
with such crude emotions
of overflowing oil
      I still remember

Woman
I’ve sapped you, fluids & all
It was unavoidable
    If you only understand

I’m anything but human
no blood flows in machines
& the beast in me
     no greed can sate

forgive, I plead
forgive my wonted lust for fatty lands
forget my memorable drive
     that ripped open your womb:

all this is irreversible, forgive
if you wish to forget.
