Non-Erotic PoetryPier 1 bedroomcarpets woven in mint and cream
butter lamps
a Javanese bed that sighs like a whore
fresh cut jasmine and wet grass
saffron oil smudges
a clove cigarette spitting on enamel tray
Ceylanese goddess thighs
Maori tattooed back
silver anklets and Beijing crimson toes
Samarkand caresses
liquid pearls on hennaed belly
contented sighs in the night
Salt distilled from Kathmandu tears
beaten adobe floor
Chinese mosquito coil
rat gnawed foam mattress
oil streaked Manila canals
charcoal smudges
burning garbage and plastic bags
rickshaw callused hands
sari wrapped stretch marks
cracked flip flops by the door
ten dollar Phuket ladyboy
discarded condom in a pit latrine
stifled cries in the night
Salt distilled from Kathmandu tears
Share the love
