Get out of your own way

Oh, for Heaven’s sake,
 refrain from technically defining me
Do Not Take My Name In Vain!
I will be what I will be

Among my favorites
 of the amazing pictures I have selected
 lies a special collection

The holy profane
Some gorgeous woman’s
 outrageous private fling
Nudes of various humbly proud vacationers
 on a Mediterranean beach
 coaxed out of their bikinis
 by the shared sisterly spirit
 of a bisexual bombshell of a tour guide
A transvestite’s iconic sketches
 of beauties boldly posing
Now removed

While I gaze with wonderment
 at the others from time to time
 resplendent and supernumerary as they are
 a longing remains — an inner viewing
  in the back room of my soul
for the extraordinary evidences
 real-life spectacle
 frank, comfortable joy
 reveling in their personal superlativacity 

Of course they made it up
 but it was such a beautiful story
 such tortuous exaltation
 suspended between
 the gloriful visage of the divine
 and the miraculous bounty of nature
taken in small amounts over time
they defied mortality
and bet their lives on it

After thinking about it for a while
 I think I think too much

I used to identify with Krishna
 so ready to share myself
 with all 16,108 queens at once

Now I realize I am just one of the queens
 touched by the spirit of a profligate King
 baring with joy divine fruit
 knit from my very flesh, blood, and soul

 Well, aren’t we all
