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 - Cheers A 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.
