Apostle Town

After your death. It was windy every day. Every day. Opposed us like a wall. We went. Shouting sideways at one another. Along the road it was useless. The spaces between. Us got hard they are. Empty spaces and yet they. Are solid and black. And grevious as gaps. Between the teeth. Of an old woman you. Knew years ago. When she was. Beautiful the nerves pouring around in her like palace fire.

Desert Town

When the sage came back in. From the desert. He propped up the disciples again like sparrows. On a clothesline. Some had fallen in to despair this puzzled him. In the desert. Where he baked his heart. Were no shadows no up and down to remind him. How they depended on him a boy died. In his arms. It is very expensive he thought. To come back. He began to conform. To the cutting away ways. Of this world a fire was roaring up. Inside him his bones by now liquid and he saw. Ahead of him. Waiting nothing else. Waiting itself.

Hocquenghem argues for anal pleasure not as a specifically homosexual activity, but as a way of undermining all sexual categorizations. The symbolic role of the anus is pitted against that of the phallus, the latter’s private status correlated with the former’s function as the public marker of sexual difference. If ‘the body gathers round the phallus like society round the chief,’ it unravels around the anus. Whereas only approximately half the population have a phallus, everyone has an anus, its universal possession overriding its privatized and individuated function. In Hocquenghem’s view sexual use of the anus is therefore revolutionary, not simply in terms of overturning sexual categorizations but also by undermining the economic sublimation equating faeces with money.
