a wet
glimpse a wet
wick a wet
tip of phosphorous imagined
signs
(a flexed toe
a lingering inscrutable gaze
an elbow nervously scratched)
rubbing sparkless against my mind
numb friction dumb
fecundity
the stink of stifled heat
nothing like the slow drag
of thigh over warm thigh
the loose dangle of a foot
the ankle spasming in concert
to the pulse of the crossed
and enfolded universe

the scene (fragment)
puff puff afro fluff
fidel baby tee lips designer belt when
dance moves become angular
her navel cleft winking at him
he imagines
as he two steps the beat
side steps strangers with feats of agility
while maintaining his focus
she looks at him
or at the bar perhaps he cannot tell
but makes a note to get off the shelf
where heightened aspirations
are always only a matter of weakened dollars
where labels are still everything
and your name is less important than your taste
tongue tank-treading in his mouth
his throat is dry
and this becomes the newest reason why he
delays
orders a bottle of water
regrets paying for what should be free
indignant at the world the club
is no place
for politics

Patrick Stewart boldly reasserts his reputation as one of the great Shakespearean actors of our time in a commanding performance as Macbeth. Fresh from their landmark UK production of The Tempest, Stewart reunites with rising star director Rupert Goold in the harrowing study of the seductive nature of power that was the sold-out, must-see event of the summer in its Chichester Festival Theatre debut. Set in an industrial chamber that is equally military hospital ward, kitchen, torture chamber, and abattoir, Goold's eerily modern Macbeth rings with the echoes of Stalinist terror. Macbeth is a decorated and loyal war hero, but loyalty only goes so far when greatness and history beckon and murder is only a matter of military coups and secret assassinations. Stewart's genius is to reveal Macbeth as a moral man turned ruthless paranoid, one who understands exactly what he's gaining—and what he's losing—as he coldly disposes of the friends and family who stand in the way of his irrepressible ambition.
