Joy Division
Graham Fulton
In the German History part of the store,
peeping between the bestselling tomes
on Adolf’s wife and final weeks,
The Beginner’s Guide to Cunnilingus.
Everything you could need to know:
minora, majora. I push it away,
fight to recall the reason I’m here:
hate on a worldcracking scale, fear.
V2 rockets, life’s too short.
What is a clitoris? Where to find it.
Strength through joy, death is a bore.
Advanced techniques, flanking the spot.
I keep diving back for one more glance.
Picture the heart of the girl, I assume,
who hid it there to enlighten my day.
Make love, not war, if you get the chance.
