Although not my cup of tea, this is well written and worthy of its erotic designation as much for what it doesn't say as does.

I've come back to this poem a bunch of times

because each time I read it I see something more in it. It's strongly erotic with a dreamy quality that shifts to alive and urgent as the poem ends. And it hinges on knowing who Caliban is because everything that is erotic and wild in this poem is embodied in that character from The Tempest. So it's all well integrated imho. Anyway great writing and I'll look forward to seeing more from you. Thanks for a great read.

I confess I wasn't familiar with the character, Caliban, but after I read Angie's comment, I looked him up on the internet. Reading about him, it just made a good poem that much better for me.
