A Poem by Robin Marchesi"},"content":{"rendered":"

<\/p>\n

A man leaves a residue in a woman
\nWhat is this residue?
\nDoes, in its microscopic materialization,
\nThe left over semen
\nMake a permanent mark?
\nDo I, as a man,
\nWish to leave traces within you,
\nA form of forever that nestles in the womb?
\nOr is there another way
\nIn which man may give
\nSubstance to her, who has stirred his loins
\nCan I be stronger than I\u2019ve ever been?
\nWill I be able to give love without demands?
\nI wonder why I need to disown a feeling
\nTo beautiful to own?
\nMust it go,
\nDepart,
\nTiny traces,
\nNo more than residue
\nIn an unseen, personal, world?<\/p>\n
