Lesbian Corn
In summer
I strip away
your pale kimono.
Your tousled hair too,
comes off in my hands
leaving you
completely naked.
All ears and
tiny yellow teeth.

Goethe's Nightsong
--Wandrers Nachtlied (1780)
Over the hills
Comes the quiet.
Across the treetops
No breeze blows.
Not a sound: even the small
Birds in the woods
are quiet
Just wait: soon you
Will be quiet, too.
from New and Selected Poems by David Lehman

THE RULE OF THUMB
by T.P.Winch
Ringfinger was nervous
Pinky terrified
when they learned
that Hand might succumb
to the rule of Thumb.

As usual wonderfully provocative poetry from Elaine Equi.
Nice lesbian poem!
