KALE HENSLEY
call me harpoon with no humpback in sight
so horny I’ve become a halo worn
by he-devils hissing hello heart-chucked
huss show us what hides in the handbasket
if you hope for hell you must dance for it
hunger suits this heroine she needs heat
hallowing the belly her dark hair held
like a bouquet of heaving hyacinth
what is hindrance but a dress hem asking
to be hitched around hips that ancient hum
for lips haunting a head beloved God
help me I am but howls trapped in hot meat
a hollowing on her hands and her knees
honeying toward a fingering hurry
