I saw your back and it looked oddly new,

As you lay face down, gagged,

As if I were aboard the Odyssey,

As it rode a damaged rocket

In the summer of seventy,

And rounded the moon

And I looked sheer down,

As from space to the airless land

At these craters, your back bones

And the crack of what for a man

Is a rather shapely ass.

***

Bare my wrists were and my neck

Teeth flashed with nothing between them.

I put the bottle full of water

Between my thighs as it were my cock

And tried to get the nozzle in that way.

I only embarrassed us both.
