Caress

Robert Glück. Andy with drawings by Edward Aulerich. San Francisco, Panjandrum Press, 1973.

The intaken breath
as the palm sweeps
From armpit to thigh
Your clear body
hangs like an amulet
around a certain lucky neck.

This is a picture in itself but wildly mind-blowing when one realizes that it is the song of a cat.

It's an evil stew
the drug makes him amorous
as the cat sings:

         The intaken breath
         as the palm sweeps
         From armpit to thigh
         Your clear body
         hangs like an amulet
         around a certain lucky neck.

Andy's forehead beads with sweat
like salt water on fresh caught mackerel.

Cat's delight. Ours too.

And so for day 1232
