I am new to Cohen's work. but eagerly learning... I have heard of one piece he did many years ago involving. oral sex, sacraments, and crucifixes... but I can not seem to find any information on it...does anyone know of this work? its title or which volume I might find it in?
thanks

When You Kneel Below Me seems (quite obviously) to be about oral sex. It's from Spice-Box of Earth, I believe

It's great that you've discovered Cohen. He has some fantastic poetry. I'm most fond of "Book of Longing."

There is a recent thread on "Master Song" which ties this in with all 3 of these.

Great one. Also Need the Speed is good, I recite both to women when the situation is right.
