This week we bring you a sensual poem from Julie Shiel.
The Great Hunt
Tell me a story, my wolf,
of a great hunt chasing
the chill Autumn night
through twilight shaded wood
to the neon of the dirty streets,
of stalking fascination
to my lonely lair.

she whispers into
his open fly
I turn you up
so the neighbors
can hear
midwinter night

gospel: lake geneva Jessicamarie Wermes i have found blood boils behind the cold of a zipper. the peel of skin and salt, bared free to the dark of the sticky night. he traced his fingers tentatively up my arm, the sigh in a soft moan. my mouth full of a question never asked. hunger, a ripe fruit staining our knowledge of the other. we spent the afternoon lips slick with want, how it flavored every word said. tasted of blue moon ice cream, chocolate beer and spiced honey. i stood dripping lake water into a puddle as his eyes searched the brief body i could lend him. the distraction i was willing to give him. and i wonder if i swallow the good in every man, will i know the bad when it rots on my tongue. his baptism of spit laced with mango weed smoke, no place holier than the gravel of a parking lot. then i ask, how deep do your sins go and do you like the feel of them in the back of my throat.
