Aperire, Not Legs

I learnt last April

aperire means open

not legs, tho

For Greeks and Romans

April of

Rebirth and regrowth

Was dedicated

To Venus and Aphrodite

We should celebrate

And welcome spring

With open arms and

Open legs

Picture Venus

Picture Aphrodite

Legs akimbo

A symbol

Of new opportunities

Of new horizons

After the dark

And the cold

We all deserve the heat

Damn your legs

Wide

Those thighs

So soft to touch

Love your chest

The sweet embrace

Oh your breasts

As my hands

Drift—

From

Thighs coccyx

To

Ass cheeks

My desire

Entrapped

Enraptured

By

Light tanned skin

Curves I adore

I—want

No need

To hold back

Take a step

Back

From my lust

Oh—my lust

To make way

For trifling

Trivialities

For dishes

That need cleaning

For carpet vacuuming

Until I can't
