The Sexual Six

By Jack Joseph Smith

Two boys and a girl Two girls and a boy Spring blossoms not too high on fruit trees A hidden medow strips speech from gone wine Each will release their bodies three times with no thought to nourish Resting for power through the silk breeze like the sent of compeating flower colors will not answer to destany While controling portions of time the skin from acting and watching is taut with turming and cleaver sighs The signs given with the lips and eyes, if not delicate with the rolling and the roar may seperate the angels Careful touch has let the making of motion be between while tongues have the chance to murmur he and she Down with daring in the light of dark Up with the blindness of stars in the day It is the sense of we that folds the twelve arms Side by side like a Hindu heaven

A poem of youthful group desire among two boys and a girl and two girls and a boy, where spring blossoms, skin, tongues, and twelve folding arms compose an erotic idyll measured out in careful touch and Hindu heaven.

A pastoral of group eros whose opening arithmetic - 'Two boys and a girl / Two girls and a boy' - insists desire can be counted into communion rather than rivalry. The scene is springtime and slightly intoxicated: 'Spring blossoms not too high on fruit trees,' 'A hidden medow strips speech from gone wine,' bodies released 'three times with no thought to nourish' and 'taut with turning and cleaver sighs.' The poem treats the encounter as delicate ritual, where signs 'given with the lips and eyes,' if not handled with care, 'may seperate the angels,' and 'tongues have the chance to murmur he and she.' Its thesis is the closing image: 'It is the sense of we that folds the twelve arms / Side by side like a Hindu heaven' - six become one, and the reference is theological rather than ornamental, offering a vision of the sacred in which multiplicity is the blessing and not the scandal.
