Description
Sex is,
in our scheme of things,
a catharsis of bewilderment:
unmeant expiation of original sin
by means of shamed indulgence,
unintended parody
of our career in Eden.
Via sex we exit
the ordinary – that continuous deposit
of bewilderment –
initiate purgative seizure
that hardly resets, barely restores,
will fail us utterly when
we’ll need it crucially:
not to purchase another’s life, but to arrest
lost purchase on our own.
