Pornographic Poem by RIC BASTASA

it is all in the mind
the breasts like coconuts
satisfying the hunger within
the skin exposed
to enliven
what is dying
the desire
to make us see
the color of the wind

to feel the other and see
the rainbow links two distant mountains
to make the waterfalls
convert their rage into songs

there is so much beauty
in our bodies
when we get naked
when we do not think
that we are dirty and pornographic

Adam and Eve were not born
with gowns and coats
God loves them for what they are
naked and true and
with malice towards none
to beauty they are one
