Welcome!/ A Flower is Not a Vulva by Fusiform Gyrus

A Flower is Not a Vulva 

In response to the below photograph by Sara Lorusso © 2017 

A flower is not

a vulva but

Eros with

a death drive

a cock

five incisions

made

into the penile eye

and then

with a metal 

rod

splayed 

to bloom

perfect petals

preserving blood 

and nerve 

supplies 
not droopy 
labia majora
but sublime 
genderdefiance 
no longer 
reproductive
a simulacrum 
post-envirnomental 
phenomenon
feeling piss tube 
stamen 

O parsimonious sacrificer

beyond this

economy of pimps

a humingbird

beating

its wings
in summer's rays 

drinks furtively

from

the gaping

star-shape

a handgun

of solid gold

riding

the wreckage.
