Dear Poetry,

I wrote this three decades ago...

CH/a\OS (Sexing the GREEK Gods).
I wrote this when I was 14:

Perrine, Florida
The Circle
(Behind Lee’s grocery store)

You came like a God.
Something I found remotely odd...
and when you
grabbed my chocolate cheeks
you slid inside
something so soft...
Eye was reminded of...love.
Till I felt the epitome of Greece...
I was a young black niggah testing---
POWER!
I had to survive, I had to become wild
I had to overthrow, I had to let the world know---
I’m sexy by nature, swallowing nomenclatures
I made love to Gaea and came in her soul;
and from it came Typhoeus;
teaching me to suck a hundred heads...
and breath fire
and never sleep
Hermes freed Zeus;
but the bitch couldn’t free me!
Battling the Ash Tree Nymphs
you see eye castrated Uranus
when I made him cum a hundred different ways.
My orgasm became power after dethroning Cronus;
with these dirty south hips
I rode that little dick till it split
and I walked away a different type of man.
I could have sworn I was on my knees
sucking the sweat off Zeus’ testicles;
watching Leto let go my afro
when I released on her toes...
and the spectacle of your Cyclopes
slid on my tongue;
nuts slapping my chin...
filled my mouth with a
power only known
to words...
I had to face Hades in the spring
standing on Atlas to find April showers...
I had to sit and talk with Eros
to find out what was on Oceanus’ mind—
I had to dance with Hermes
to find your rhythm in the summer
cause I started to fall
the instant I revisited Aphrodite
‘cause she rode my face
with sweet smelling urgency
that made my dick quiver

and my heart turn and shiver
and treasures were unlocked
when Hyperion put me in a buck.
The wind told me he was
the Titan of light, the father of the sun,
but when I showed him my moon
and it dawned on him I was a monsoon
he quickly tasted me,
in a way my chair never had
and out of nowhere Erebus came on my pretty lips;
and Uranus and Hera told me I was naive.
They said I was so young and so full of life
and yet so dumb and so out of sight.
They sexed me til I lost my breath;
and I left them hours later in search of what was left.
the minute Apollo bent over in my face
bringing Winter to the Mountains
Ares battled the God of War
and then pulled me in his embrace
and fucked the shit outta me!
skin to skin
lips to lips
tongue to dick
breath to pussy
and I began my own ruin
how do I recover?
from Dione and Zeus
our little ménage a trois,
ending with me waking up
in Coues and Phoebe’s bed
But Zeus wanted to
possess my sexual fires;
he told me face to face it was
my own soul
he wanted to devour.
And I had to give it up to him and Maia;
him and Dione
him and Demeter;
and I was so hooked
I couldn’t deter...
I’m a walking living,
breathing prophesy;
you didn’t have any ass
till you had mine!
but I tell you this
as we descend upon sexual bliss;
erasing demeaning frou-frou and psychobabble
I will write you a letter
when I wipe Artemis cum from my lips
cause I tested power
and I swallowed Chaos.
Erasing the entire God blood line.
