What Pahn Needs

…Pahn remembers walking

on an unpaved road

it is cut along a south-facing slope in

an open woodland

of leafless oaks and un-kept

meadows

 and there

where he has spoken to Yaohwa

by the trailer     two

new women

have been introduced    

 their faces

morphing

evolving from composite to composite

Ehvair/Ahpadeyva

Ehvair/Pholoa…

                                                        …They have walked into

the trailer of white

and simple modernity

backing into the corner of the bed

            she finds his embrace

                                    and leans toward his face

           

and Ahpadeyva transmigrates away

                        becoming

a clear visage

                        above and to the left

                        and disappears as

he closes his eyes

 feels Ehvair/Pholoa’s thin lips…

…they are walking

                        along the darkening road

                                                    from the tree-bark like cold coals…

…they come into

the trailer of white where she

entreats his sexual affection

pulling off her shirt

putting her hand on his face

he closes his eyes

(remembers Djuturna’s love against his cheek)

finds her thin lips and crosses his

                        against them pushing apart

the

smooth
revolute    inclusions                                                        

                  as his face passes                                    

into hers…      

…Pholoa

stable and full now

sits behind a desk outdoors

in her thin trousers

and red sweater smiling

her wide and open smile

and wonders what Pahn needs

as he approaches…
