Fireman's Ball
By Kalamu ya Salaam
yr arced torso radiates
the sculpted bronze intensity
of an earth toned ewe passion mask
yr hypnotic breasts
are brown mesmerizing eyes, yr nipples
dilated pupils aroused into
elongated surprise
yr navel a heavy
nose
flaring
with every sharp breath
& listen
that dark forest, yr sideways mouth
silently chants the sacred syllables
of my secret name
as i plunge into the discovery
of its musky depths
unable to stand
i joyously recline
jumping in the happy immolation
of yr explosive flame
