The Aurora Review

Winter/Spring 2005


Eve’s Depression
by Jeff Foster


   Tomorrow never happens, man.
       It’s all the same fucking day.

                                – Janis Joplin

 1.
 I’m nude with my legs apart
 angled up and bent at the knee
 my feet grace my sex
 sectioned like a tangerine
 halved like a yellow grapefruit
 teary with seeds
 journeying the genitalia of the grapefruit
 and the taste of the tangerine

 2.
 I lifted up the rug
 moisture was trapped underneath
 it had the same smell of sex
 like a dishrag
 left in the sink

 3.
 The sun was lifting up her dress
 being tawdry and teasing
 running behind the clouds
 before I could touch where she’s gleaming
