Carnal Catechism

by Terry Olynik

You crossed your legs,
Purposefully. Languidly.
Sinfully.
Your licked lips-
Sanctifying
Grins most evil.

Intertwined tongues,
Like cast out
Serpents.
Sweet saliva baptism,
In this cathedral
Of stifled moans.

In our damp bed,
A manger of racing hearts
And
Not so original sin -
I am your apostle.
You are my purgatory.

I'm a 'dead again Catholic,' and if I'm reading this correctly, I would assume that you might have strolled a stiff, parochial classroom aisle under the focused stare of the good Sisters? - Well writ! - RCat
