Poetry Wednesday - 'Nefertiti rides me' from Dorothy Porter's 'Ahkenaten'.

Nefertiti rides me

Her cunt

slippery on

the hot skin

of my belly.

She’s sticky

with my glue –

that high stink

of seed!

My tongue

tastes her sap

a sweat-honey

shot with salt

still wild

in the corners of my

mouth.

I want to hold her

I want to lie still

but she’s not finished

her eyes are shut

her breath

a stammering breeze

now, now

oh, yes

she growls like the desert

melts like sleep

and anoints me

exquisitely.

I’m her war horse

she looks down

from hooded eyes

and laughs, laughs.

I love her more than Aten.

This poem comes from the verse novel 'Ahkenaten' by Melbourne poet Dorothy Porter. The Nerfertiti in this poem is indeed the famous Egyptian beauty, and Ahkenaten is the name of the pharoah she was married to. I enjioyed reading this verse novel and can heartily recommend it.

Come and see me perform!

Meredith and her alter ego Dorothy Spencer invite you to come along to the next Drink and Think. Bring a bottle of wine, loll on cushions and listen to marvellous boffins expound on their latest exciting research and creative doings.

The performance content for the evening will be ’The Spencer Spanking Plan!’

"While Spencer Spankings are safe spankings - they are still spankings. And any spanking hurts enough to convey a good lesson."

Join Dorothy Spencer, the earnest and tweedy instigator of ‘The Spencer Spanking Plan’, who insists that a jolly good spousal thrashing will cure all domestic disharmony. Dorothy will present her manifesto through the mediums of spoken word, dahnce, and slides!

The SIAL project space is the venue and is located in the RMIT University City Campus, in Building 9, Level 1, Room 46. Building 9 is on the corner of Bowen and Franklin Streets in Melbourne. Drink and Think is on July 9, starting at 6pm. It is a free event.
