Proudly vulnerable, poem published by Sultana Raza

      Eddie and whorls,
      constant tides of
      sweating humanity
      surge around her
      hallowed feet

      as she stands there
      helpless
      yet proud,
      sure of her femininity

      the dream personified,
      the phantasmagoria
      of all red-blooded males
      surging from all fair corners
      of this ancient earth

      they don’t mind
      the temple fee,
      the crush,
      for the rush
      of their own blood

      supersedes
      the clicks and whirrs,
      as flashes
      of fifty frames per second

      preserve the memories of
      caressing her cold flesh
      from every majestic angle
      conceivable…

      as the air heats up,
      with every new arrival
      who can only think of the
      moment her heavy robe
      will finally slip down
      leaving her proudly bare…

      she can’t help a secret smile,
      for she lost her arms
      centuries ago
      yet her robe holds up
      like a flowing, inviting train

      spiraling through time
      waiting for it
      to come to an end
      when any god
      would be proud
      to marry her

      as foolish mortals endlessly
      stream around
      caressing her the only way
      they are allowed.
