Maxfield Parrish

*

I always put my pussy

in the middle of trees

like a waterfall

like a doorway to God

like a flock of birds.

I always put my lover’s cunt

on the crest

of a wave

like a flag

that I can

pledge my

allegiance

to. This is my

country. Here,

when we’re alone

in public.

My lover’s pussy

is a badge

is a night stick

is a helmet

is a deer’s face

is a handful

of flowers

is a waterfall

is a river

of blood

is a bible

is a hurricane

is a soothsayer.

My lover’s pussy

is a battle cry

is a prayer

is lunch

is wealthy

is happy

is on teevee

has a sense of humor

has a career

has a cup of coffee

goes to work

meditates

is always alone

knows my face

knows my tongue

knows my hands

is an alarmist

has lousy manners

knows her mind

I always put

my pussy in the middle

of trees

like a waterfall

a piece of jewelry

that I wear

on my chest

like a badge

in America

so my lover & I

can be safe.
