Astarte
She is explicit.
She undresses flesh
to reveal wantonness.
She tantalizes form
into blind devotion.
She opens you up
and where you fold
reveals your unripe fruit.
Her joy is to moisten
every audacious lip
all abandoned cravings
until you paint her face
with worship.
Astarte (oil on canvas) Lori Koefoed.
