This site is fucking hilarious, I was searching for a poster which said "I'm an artist and your'e an arsehole" and found this... must get to work, enough internet.


ARSEHOLE


It is shy as a gathered eyelet
neatly worked in shrinking violet;
it is the dilating iris, tucked
away, a tightening throb when fucked.


It is a soiled and puckered hem,
the golden treasury's privy purse.
With all the colours of a bruise,
it is the fleck of blood in albumen.


I dreamed your body was an instrument
and this was the worn mouthpiece
to which my breathing lips were bent.


Each note pleaded to love a little longer,
longer, as though it was dying of hunger.
I fed that famished mouth my ambergris.
