Jungle Poem

Jungle Safari

I want to be witch doctor, traveling
with you in jungle safari. Infested
with you in jungle safari. Wasted
dance performed by witch
doctor, pounding, and pouncing
bare feet
head bowed down to jungle goddess
animal instinct as strong as her passion
infected with rhythmic sway, all heads
turn. With you, that doctor-
infused with flowing immoral patience
tastes the sweetness …running fingers wrapped,
beading sweat, animal steps
convulsive witch doctor
poisoned drunk in her jungle, unknown…
passion convulsing his dance
rhythmic fiction convulsing his dance
she, unkwoing, shapes future
like past
