the eunuch samples a thousand delights
without a pregnant pause;
naked as a bumblebee
she buzzes busily;
pollinatin' a million blossoms,
drinks nectar by the gallon,
feedin' a hundred blinded chil'n
in waxy wombs of honeyed light; he's
combing all the forests, garden lands and lawns
without a yawn or yammer, til the moon again will dawn
and then off she soars thru space to visit
ten stars every night, bringin' stellars
home in pocketfuls
til larvas learn insightful flights.
and then they're done, tiredly expiring,
husks abandoned for better nights
the eunuchs munch on memories
and fanatasies beyond
their cites.
