Without Sexual Attraction Poem by David Ignatow

Without Sexual Attraction

Rating: 3.9


Without sexual attraction, there is
the brutal movement of the sea.
The face peers out of its skeletal frame
and hands reach like bone.

Without love, the streets
are hollow sounding
with wooden, hurried steps,
voices like caverns of death.
We pass each other as trains do,
whistling screams.

Without emotions and feelings, human beings are no better than the machines doing everything in a mechanical manner. The whole concept has been expressed beautifully. Small but lovely poem. We pass each other as trains do, whistling screams.
