The Bonobo Wedding _____ AKSHR

The Bonobo Wedding

 

But the act, called the sexual act, 

is not for depositing of seed

but to exchange fluid among the bodies, 

and that fluid is love.

Without further ado, here’s the poem:

That Same Pain, That Same Pleasure

I want to be amorphous.

To linger in my body

like a shadow.

To be free from the confines of my flesh,

to feel what it is to be water, air, the wind.

I want to be like the bonobo monkeys and have sex

without climaxing and without ejaculating,

And I want to do this with a woman 

who will not climax and without ejaculating,

and we want to keep doing this as long as we can.

I want our bodies to flow together like rivers

and merge into one another in an ocean of desire.
