Each night I'd drag the textbook to my room,
stare at diagrams of musculature until my mother
said goodnight, then by flashlight I'd find
my dog-eared Havelock Ellis, real life stories
of every kind of fetish: shoe sniffing, grown men
How could words express this world, reeling
out of reach-
a place you don’t exist where I have seen
The Nolans, leaving
What mattered was matter, the precise
weight of you, so many ounces
of flesh and blood,
The City with Horns
