Paleolithic Offering
She tilts her head
and eyes out of sight.
She draws her heels
to her buttocks.
She spreads her thighs
to triangulate entry.
He firmly approaches –
her eyes roll and peek.
The Rainbow
Before the practice of copulation,
rains fell on the vulva
and soaked into the womb.
If fertile, a snake rose
from the earth, arced through the sky,
and shed its multi-colored skins.
Sex and Violence
When a bull’s in heat
or mounting a cow, then strike,
strike both, dissect, eat,
then propitiate with paint
or a chorus of carvings.
