"Sharm el-Sheikh" by Kola Boof

eyoun sera
I am a young woman and yet they
visit me like a grave.
Circle of Masters.
A scorpion, black as oil, stings at each nipple.
He calls me Nefertiti...but no, President Mubarak
I am not buried alive. Yet.

I am like a Cobra dancing before you,
My naked "S" cobra-moaning like a curving rope
to lynch the pendulum's whore

My mouth is sweet like honey
My tongue like the sperm that comes when
rain hits sugar
My tight...tiny...pussy....salty as the Sea.
Sweet dirty bitch--that's me.
The Dinka man insisting:
"The taller she is....the more cows she deserves."

I am tall enough to nurse the moon.
But I don't want your Gods.
Your weak sperm...your petite dicks
You're nothing but men.

And I am not the devil...I just look like her.
