One Poem and One Request

Beautiful by Richard Brautigan

I go to bed in Los Angeles thinking
about you.

Pissing a few moments ago
I looked down at my penis
affectionately.

Knowing it has been inside
you twice today makes me
feel beautiful.

Also, does anyone have any poems that mention/allude to being apprehensive about opening up to another person or opening up to someone/making oneself vulnerable in general?

Thank you for any help. <3

Utensil by A.R. Ammons

How does the pot pray:
wash me, so I gleam?

prays, crack my enamel:
let the rust in.

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in.

- Leonard Cohen
