Dominic Giovanni's Poetry

Call me Dom Giovanni. I am an Irish Italian poet, originally from Scotland and Ireland. I do not wish to trouble my readers with embellished or self-promoted details about myself. In poetry and writing, directness and simplicity are more preferable than exaggerated statements of self. Please read the words. My duty is to the words.

In San Francisco Did Adrogynous Danne (a fragment)

In San Francisco Did Adrogynous Danne (a fragment)

In San Francisco did Adrogynous Danne
A stately pleasure dome decree:
Where Spermatozoa, the sacred river, ran
Through female caverns measureless to man
Down to a sinless sea.
So twice twenty miles of fertilized ground
With walls and lips were girdled round:
And here were gardens bright with sensuous rills,
Where blossomed many a sex-scented bearing tree;
And here were cultic-forests ancient as the hills,
Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.
