Today I Know

Today I know
the heat of its
transgressive flesh:

I taste a breeding
blood-hot illegitimacy
in its breath –

I roll and wrestle with –
am conquered by –
the sweet illusion

that it blesses
to seek fusion –
I believe religiously

in its relieving touch.
Today I know
it’s all too much:

reflect without, within –
from skin to soul –
its bold ecstatic reflex.

Today I know
the Universe
is sex.
