betwixtness of two

this is where I am in Universe,

what can I see from here?

this is where we are in Universe,

what can we see from here.

i find the coda of a life well-lived,

i visit the call girls,

the courtesans,

and the prostitutes

hoping to provide them as clean as a transaction

as they’ll provide me.

there is divinity in this exchange.

inscrutability,

satiety,

a betwixtness of two.

give me the reek of lust, funk and unguents

Courtesan, 1520, Bartolomeo Veneto (1470–1531).
