ANOTHER 2 POEMS:

Both poems from: The colours of ancient dreams
B.C. Leale



A ROOM

There is a room possessed
by a locked piano
a black coffin
on a silent ocean.

There is a room crackling with flames
where the women you desire
unsheathe their vulvas beneath blankets of ash.

```````````````````````````````````````````````````````
IN A LOCKED ROOM OF THE CHATEAU

Our philatelist uncle
with the towering crumbling eye
of a mortician
spreads out a sparkling
fresh set
of gummy vaginas

B C Leale has a thing for female reproductive anatomy it would seem

oh dear, it would seem so, but it's more a case of my own (perverse) selection - he does write poems that have no mention of the female reprodutive organs.....

LOVE the imagery!

PS - didn't realise they were meant for reproduction - how sadly mundane, lol ;)
