The Brightest Branch

        The Brightest Branch

The brightest branch, or flower, or limb still casts

A shadow. If that limb, an arm or thigh,

Is masculine, the thickened shadow will

Be darker, wider yet. It might be sly

But brutal is more likely.  Brutal power

Is one consideration in this scene.

No matter what the shape or size of flower,

Equivalence of penis makes it mean

The shadow will be loaded with intent.

The hairy thigh casts darkness wider like

The will to conquer.  Maleness is content

With little else because its hairy spike

Defines its purposes in darkness, needs

Its will fulfilled, and wants to force its seeds.
