Michael Marrotti- A Poem

An Empty Vagina

Her vacuous eyes
and lack of
sexual pleasure
made her to me
a memorable
lover

The perpetual
taste of
cheap beer
on her lips
Provided me
with the
assurance
of modest wants
and subtle
self destruction

She had an
ordinary vagina
that barely existed
No aroma
It never smelled
like anything

What she became
to me as the clock
worked its cycle
Became less and less
until it denigrated
to nothing
