Josephine

……………………………………Josephine!

I saw you in a portrait

And instantly fell through time.

Your physique is that of Wisdom.

I was lost between breasts that suffered.

I wanted to tenderly swaddle your heart,

To nurture your wounds,

While we nestled within the clouds of injustice.

I was too aroused by your nakedness.

Your flesh appeared milky, the texture of silk.

But I imagined gratuitous hands violating divinity:

The cries for mercy, the silence of defeat,

The feeling of subjugation.

But despite Satan, God learned to smile.

Smile Josephine, smile!
