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.
