Aged: 21.10.10

And as predicted
in classical mythology
with age,
comes an urgent sense
of vanity.

And as self-improvement is masturbation,
it becomes more obsession
than quest.

Engrossed with perfection,
the attainment
of the goddess's pedestal,
desiring men to mistake beauty
and sensuality

as immortality.

Mirrors, legs, lust...
to dance, and captivate,
and conquer,

indulging in all things
passionate
and private,

to meet the male rival
and be glorified
in the
perfect mating union.

Wild, untamed freedom of natural existence,
complimented by the contrast of harnessing
instinct and modern methods
to achieve ancient other-worldly pleasures.

Clearing the mortal mind in solitude
on mountaintops,
and worshiping personal gods
on the hips of heroes.

Sex and solitude;
two extremes to both
despise and desire
with equal vigor.
