Funnily enough, when I was around 20 (such ages past, and long enough ago to
be another person) I wrote a poem called Seduction Poem. Is it in a "male
voice"? Just curious -

I want the slew of muscle, a less
cerebral meeting place: no word
but your male shout, the shirred
unpublic face and honest skin
crying to me, yes,
the mouthless, eyeless tenderness
crying to be let in.
Unbutton all your weight, like a bird
flying the night's starred nakedness:
put down your grammatical tongue, undress
your correct and social skin:
come white and absurd
all your language one word
crying to be let in.
