Encyclopedic Undress

Claire Cahir - "Encyclopedic Undress"

I want into your head worse than you think

Ideas penetrate my garden, protectively cultivated

Temptation leaks incandescent mementos

Devoted to every unadulterated seclusion

Strokes of genius terminate on the beach of bipolarity

Held hardly motioning to surrender

Those pearls you string together make you more than other men

Erection of myth bound by circumstance

Affluence, arrogance diligent nuanced masturbation coaxing translations

I prefer to seduce you, deep throat your intellect

Heady laughter heeds hardy goodbyes, given traces of sentiment or synthesis

Blue green salvage the fire of mnemonic aspiration

Slather brilliance onto my gray matter

Give it a second, many thousands

Inert gases combust letters

Par avion, untimely suggestions from overseas

Sip every droplet of your philosophy, memorize it and tattoo it on my mind

Identity or Laughable Loves, which is your favorite? Maybe Slowness

Interest isn’t as fun as doing it looking in the card catalog

Have it succinctly illuminate me

Waves of ecstasy have their way with the doll

Rather coyly teased tethered and taken ashore

Shelled honesty’s bright idea dims in frigid quarters

Shots of felicity and hints of sensibility crush the light bulb in bed
