Three poems from Jody Aliesan's Loving In Time of War--
The chapter (section) is entitled "when the guest is cruel"
(many more poems and several more chapters)
we all have these flavours of passion laced within our static little lives.....oragood day dream fantasy.

famous trainer of horses never

breaks one
.....................stands
at her end of loose rope between them
.....................gazes
deeply into eyes of the animal
.....................each step
it takes toward her
she coils up the slack
.....................fate
pulls us together darkly
.....................waiting
till we yearn to be mounted
.....................teaching
what we must know before knowing
we may eat from her hand

after you left the bed this morning

just as the rain began again
I heard the ring'necked doves'
fluttering moan many times
they've been part of my dark
their lovemaking sounds in the trees
next door now I hear them
inside me or echoing my own
shaking cries subsiding steady
whisper of rain in the streets hushing
rain gathering in sheets over soft
streambed of this convergent life
we're borne by now not knowing
where we're going until we get there
steering for the rocks sometimes
just to rest in the wreckage
or heading for eddies hoping
the shallows will ground us long enough
for breath I don't know who I am
anymore and it doesn't matter
whoever sends this storm flies under
its flow bears us between wings
wants us badly and groans with joy.

portrait: manipulation sensation

shiny black pointed toe
swagger scuff slick-soled
wedge heel boot shoes say

I'm in charge

if you have a different
or an independent opinion
read my lipcurl my flameglare
grab you by the shoulders
bounce you off my belly
dropping stomach acid
belching gunshots

now watch me change
into something more comfortable
eyeliner nailpolish blown dry hair
cute glance from askance
funny giggle dance floor wiggle
get you to do what I want

or poor me sullen pout
won't say what's the matter
'til your drag it out
but it's somebody's fault
so you better look out
my mind's been working overtime
and when you're to blame
I feel no shame

see here: my drama is mainstage baby
and if I don't get my way

you'll pay
