Temen in plašen

umikaš se. kot ženska. čakaš. mehak si kot ženska.
rada imam moške, ki so mehki kot ženska. ležiš
ob meni, skoraj se me dotikaš, in si temen in plašen.
čisto pri miru si in tvoj cvet je popolnoma razprt,
si rečem, tak je kot ženska. počutim se močno in
srečno. lahko sežem z roko vanj, tako je odprt in tu,
se hkrati bojim, da se njegov občutljivi cvet ne zapre,
da ga ne poškodujem. cveti črno črno, čisto črno,
ta njegov cvet, mehak, globok  in kot žamet
se mi izgublja v temi in mehka mehka tišina vre
iz njega kot neslišna, neskončno lepa glasba.
moj moški. moj. ki je mehak kot ženska.

Dark and shy

you withdraw. like a woman. you wait. soft like a woman.
I like men who are soft like women. you lie next to me,
almost touching me, dark and shy.
you are very still and your blossom is fully open,
I tell myself, he is like a woman. I feel strong and
happy. I could reach into him, he is so open and here,
but at the same time I fear that his sensitive blossom would close,
that I could hurt it. it blooms black black, deep black,
this blossom of his, soft, deep and like velvet,
it withdraws from me in the darkness and a soft soft silence
emerges from it like inaudible, infinitely beautiful music.
my man. mine. soft like a woman.
