Gorilla Feet

O man with big gorilla feet, an orchid behind each ear!

Gorilla feet

         for Aaron S

O man with big gorilla feet,
an orchid behind each ear!
Wrap a grass skirt around your hips.
Dance with me ape — sweet lips to lips,
fingers entwined in dark hair.

O man with long thin hairy feet,
pale orchids behind each lobe!
I’d hang a blushing lei upon your chest,
its fragrance musky on a bed of lust,
pluck them one by one, my Jobe.

Oh, wrestle me ape, bare hips to hips,
a dance of mulled wine and raw meat.
Entwine our orchids sour and sweet.
Place on my flower your wine-red lips,
O love with gorilla feet!
