Talk to Mike Grotsky on the Fictionville blog
And here’s to all those who
drove me stark-raving mad
made me heartsick & bodysick
and gave me the time of my life
under one bloody moon after another!
Here’s to Silvie who sold forged paintings at the flea market
And gave me the clap
Here’s to Tristessa who was frigid but still gave me crabs
Here’s to Colette who was sexy seventeen fucked everyone all the time
And gave me an especially exotic dose
And here’s to Ruby who loved it from behind
And didn’t give me anything at all!
And to Cassandra who made me come so that a light
went off in my head
And to Athena for the sweetest pussy in the East
To Victoria who moved her hips like the angels
To Eva for one miracle after another
To apt Melodie who nearly gave me PMS
but wouldn’t give me head
To Delilah who gave me a headache already
but was heaven to wake up to
And to Solange so kinky with her constant Doberman
in the moonlight
To Isabelle who gave me a hard-on when she said hello
And Reenie whose red hair lit up our austere hotel room &
then lost me in the serpentine streets of Lisbon
And Miranda for her soft thighs during the ice of London
To Angelica for not quite driving off the mountain in a great pique
& then jerking me off as we rode through the desert
To Jade who knew guilt but never heard of sin
To Yoko who rode me to heaven on a rush of hepatitis
To Yolanda who hated the Missionary position (because of her
Father) and gave me a dose of syph
To Panchita who fucked for Jesus but came for me
To Celestine who fired me with crystal till my eyes glowed
To Denora who could open a coke bottle with her pussy &
To her sister Plethora who could shoot
pingpong balls across the room
To Marianne, Magdalena, Hope, Faith, Charity
To all you mind-fuckers cock-teasers ass-lickers
honey pots lush wonders life savers –
Heaven to be precise
To all of you walking along the razor’s edge
in all your mad dire complexity:
Let’s savor the wine of ephemera
Till everything disappears tomorrow
Then we’ll take our pleasure
in the space between
where there’s such a wild
& tender beauty, perfectly
& just exactly equal
to the pleasure we made
between the
first kiss and the
last
