Lesbian Poetry

Homework on Sunday Night, 11:48

Concentration rendered impossible, she sticks like honey to
----- my reverberating brain walls-
Washington crossed the Delaware to combat Hessians
----- in an ice storm at
3 AM we both lay down, my blue sheets soft and warm
----- bodies so close we could feel the heat
They lacked in many public houses of worship in the
----- 18th century, the average life span was 30 because
The passion will kill me, desire creeping like a poison up
----- my legs, she moves ever-so-slightly towards
A republican democracy who delegates land, the
----- Northwestern Ordinance, public outcry stimulated by
Her little finger just barely touching my knee, skin
----- against skin, I'm afraid to move, afraid to interrupt
Shays' Rebellion of 1786, angry debtors in search of cheap
----- paper money, so they rose up as anarchists
We are, against the boy-girl guide that Society gives us,
----- she leans back towards me as my hip presses against
The Large State Plan, and the Small as well, they formed a
----- bicameral Congress to placate
My need, I give in and wrap my arms around the not-sleeping
----- body, hot and burning for embrace
Of the Three-Fifths Compromise for their slaves in the
----- South
Where her hand lies now
----- We will call court to order
-ing me not to stop
----- This mess of democracy and frontiers
That I've never before touched
----- West of the Ohio River Valley is
My arm thrown across her breast
----- Where the Loyalist was shot
Into our hearts the night
----- Shields the final battle of
Mind over matter- I don't care about the transgressions embedded within
-----Victorious Revolution.
