Savages and Beasts

Excerpt

slowly-slowly he pressed the woman’s lips until they opened, her
tongue suddenly was licking his finger, her body started swaying
upwards and down, erotically, sensually, provocatively, full of
desire. He smiled, let his hand travel under the bed-sheet, he
touched her body slowly, methodically like a master in the field
he enticed her until she opened for him and let him explored all
her secret coves. She moaned now, her body was in exhilarating
mood, ready to be used, taken, to be enjoyed. He pushed the
bed-sheet away. He knelt on top of her bed. He pulled her
up on her fours. He violated her, crashing in from behind in a
beastly, rough way. She just let go. She was his. Sister Gladys was
a woman who could do anything to please him. She loved him,
she knew. He knew that too.
All his life Jerome, liked to be on top of things; from a young
age growing in a family of five children, in Gatinaeu, Quebec, he
always competed with his four siblings for who would be up front
when it came to sports activities, to studies, in both elementary
and high school classes; His parents certainly loved education, his
dad, a notary public and a very successful one insisted on education
and three of his other siblings, two boys and one girl got high education,
either in college or university. His youngest sister decided
early after high school that she didn’t want to carry on with her
studies and devoted herself to volunteer work for various charity
organizations. Jerome, a shy person by nature, loved the books and
when time came to decide, this was very important to his father
who demanded timely decisions and results thereof, he chose to
become a priest. He followed religious Studies at the University of
Toronto he conscripted himself in the Canadian Diocese, the head
of which sent him to British Columbia. After a few years in Vancouver,
he was sent to the Kamloops Indian Residential School
where he was truly on top of things from day one.

Nikos Engonopoulos – Poems

Epode
(chorus of Freemasons)
Go away curses, don’t come close,
Corazon
from cradles to the stars, from the womb to the eyes,
Corazon
where sharp rocks and volcanos and seals
Corazon
where a dark face with big lips and white teeth
Corazon
let the phallus stand let the celebration start with
human sacrifices and dance
Corazon
amid the revel of the flesh to the glory of ancestors
Corazon
so that they shall sow the new generation
Corazon

The Incidentals

Old Items Collector
He passed every Thursday, right
after dawn, one could hear his
voice awakening most villagers,
the young refuge collector with
his wide muscly shoulders and
sweet smile who bought anything
the villagers wanted to discard
everything they’d give away or
sell to the young man with
the sweet smile, one man’s refuge
the other man’s treasure, the saying
went and the collector was paying fair
money for any item: pieces of steel,
rusted, bent, and useless or
the worn-out desk of the crazy poet,
who passed a few weeks earlier.
Who would care to keep a desk of
the fool who wrote poems no
sensible man could understand?
