When Man enters Woman
by Anne Sexton

When man
enters woman,
like the surf biting the shore,
again and again,
and the woman opens her mouth in pleasure
and her teeth gleam
like the alphabet,
Logos appears milking a star,
and the man
inside of woman
ties a knot
so that they will
never again be separate
and the woman
climbs into a flower
and swallows its stem
and Logos appears
and unleashes their rivers

This man,
this woman
with their double hunger,
have tried to reach through
the curtain of God
and briefly they have,
though God
and His perversity
unties the knot.

**AND IN EQUAL TIME**

I'VE NEVER HAD IT DONE SO GENTLY BEFORE for M
by Richard Brautigan

The sweet juices of your mouth
are like castles bathed in honey.
I've never had it done so gently before.
You have put a circle of castles
around my penis and you swirl them
like sunlight on the wings of birds.
