WHEN THAT OTHER PART AWAKENED

The Death of Young Bara(1794) by Jacques-Louis David(1748-1825)

His pale limbs,

his face and curls like

those of a girl,

his small limp penis -

I still remember

that long-lost day

when myself younger in age of the boy

the painting represented,

with deep yearning

I wanted to turn back two centuries

and embrace his naked form,

feel his hands on mine.

Oh, I had dreamed

of soft female flesh

for two years; but this, this!

It was so fragile and new.
