Poetry: Selections from John Dorsey

The Riverside

 

touched my cock

with some difficulty.

The Rain

 

fingering herself

above an open window.

Your White Body

 

a frightened horse.

This Perfect Room

 

of whispering blondes

in a ghost dream.

Sitting Naked

 

I wonder through so many years

an open window

of difficult things.
