poem of the week


Naked: An Ode to William Carlos Williams

I sleep in the nude.
My sheets are a second skin.
They make love to me.
When I wake
I flex my biceps, quads, buttocks
before the mirror.
I like being naked.
I am the naked genius
of this house. I hate
wearing clothing. They chafe
and tug. They are like children
at a museum. I want
to get rid of them
so I can appreciate the art of my body.
I want to walk the streets
naked – every hooker’s fantasy.
I want to suckle the breeze
on my nipples, to swing low
sweet chariot like Jesus
on the cross. I want
to be David of Michelangelo,
to sling my nakedness
at the giant sensibilities
that rule society.
But at night, sheets tucked
into my loins, cool and smooth,
I think of her, naked too
in a garden prelapsarian
and sleep the unholy sleep
of Epicurus.
