Poetry 2012, Second Prize, Cain Pinto

Hymenaiku

Geraniums
Tentacular fingers; feed,
Anthropoid’s daunt.

Plunder ploughs on
Through earshot’s gape; négligée;
Sweat, wrings a thong.

Garden blooming
Wetness romps: stiff armed bandit!
Seminal cheer?

Pods pucker, two
Bright towers at seabed’s nigh;
Piratical…

Vitiation
That cavil’s carousal; canned
Sardines shan’t stink.
