IN ASIAN LAND
I was under yellow sun
in yellow light
in yellow building
with yellow men with
black brown eyes
of the deepest
deadliest serious
but most fragile beauty
that I've ever seen
or experienced.
The women walked through
me so slender sexy sensual
smiling at the instant I realized
that they looked right through me
to the world where the yellow light
could never penetrate.
The men were so alien & lovely
as they asked silent questions & begged
for no answers while never touching nor
invading my personal private space.
They were bare in every action word
reaction in a soothing painless fashion
as they studied me revealing all while
never hurting scaring me or making me
feel small.
They fan beneath the yellow sun...
Bathe beneath the yellow sun...
Sleep beneath the yellow sun...
Fuck beneath the yellow sun...
But none of them touched me
& I noticed that they never kissed.
They were monster gods though they
looked human.
The yellow sun peaked & fell upon us;
burning away...
burning the fray...
The yellow sun kissed me
As I slumbered in the orange of dusk.
