I almost forgot to do this, so here’s a few not particularly subtle erotic poems from Mina Loy’s “Love Songs to Joannes”, from Love Songs: 1915-1917
1.
Spawn of Fantasies
Sitting the appraisable
Pig Cupid
His rosy snout
Rooting erotic garbage
"Once upon a time"
Pulls a weed
White star-topped
Among the wild oats
Sown in mucous-membrane
I would
An eye in a Bengal light
Eternity in a skyrocket
Constellations in an ocean
Whose rivers run no fresher
Than a trickle of saliva
There are suspect places
I must live in my lantern
Trimming subliminal flicker
Virginal to the bellows
Of experience
Coloured glass
2. The skin-sack In which a wanton duality Packed All the completions Of my infructuous impulses Something the shape of a man To the casual vulgarity of the merely observant More of a clock-work mechanism Running down against time To which I am not paced My fingertips are numb from fretting your hair A God's doormat On the threshold of your mind
Okay. that’s it.
