Tonight's Poet Corner: Sonnet Solstice #232
Thank God For Lesbians
by Belinda Roddie
Thank God for lesbians! They are so fair
and ravishing, their bodies bending toward
each shaft of light, their flesh yielding to air
that's delicate like sand upon a shore.
Two women kiss and fondle each bosom
and coo to one another's lullabies
that rise and fall like an echoing drum
and have melodies that would make kings cry,
dabbing at their thick and heavy brows. We
are beautiful enough to make men swoon
but also understand we're out of reach,
a flickering moment in a monsoon,
a storm of romance that they cannot touch,
that they can only witness - our love's trust.
