Larry Chang: Poems

Our Cocks

1980

Clasp your black body to mine
Black coral on amber
Your cock full and heavy
Awesome weapon of war
Mine metal-hard and sharp
Scalpel honed for surgery
Yet tools for love.

Two roosters crowing in one coop
nestled in the entangled bush
of our conjoined groins
greeting the morning of life
in celebration.

Two wordless mouths that meet and kiss
spilling drops of song
that form a pattern of pearls
on velvet skin.
