Poetry by Patrick Panageas
After Sex Comes Survey
Your Name: Something to ascribe a warmth to, whether it be tangible or not,
Your Body: I could touch
Your Taste: Blood in cracks
Of My Broken Lips: Consonants & vowels drowning in winter
Your Sinking Boat: I used your tongue as an oar to scoop the blood out
My Sinking Boat: You took mine as yours & told me not to ask
What That Meant: We fucked sad. From nakedness we heaved
Hearts & Holes: Beneath skin we ached to bathe
In Our Organs: Dancing through a field of dew
Dampened Flowers: Our bodies fought to bridge a gap
Fingers Outstretched: In mouths groping tongues & scaling mountains
Of Teeth: Forested in blood & cum you said
Drown: In the cracks of my lips. I panicked & fled
To Your Clit: My chapstick. You couldn’t cum & I kept bleeding
Your Name: From my mouth through cracks in our skin.
