"Cold Copulation" by Amanda Pape

The intimate perspectives of winter

the way she sits so still

with cunning, violent eyes

She crystallizes the delicate helix

of her brutality

Boundless is the avarice of

her lustful tyranny

She fucks me into submission

fucks me cold,

meek

Until I concede all the fevered visions

of the warmth I knew

in summer’s arms
