| all things being
unequal
bothered by
opaque
stockings
he regrets to say
they turned him off
and continues
to apologize
too many times
not an indifference
so much, as a point driven
home
rattling in the trunk
with every turn
all I needed was his cue
to
be his dazzling
play-pretty
below the observation
landing
the other
and
I smile
delights in every wrapping
silk, opaque, or otherwise
like a
child with candy waiting
the sumptuous center
the toy surprise
magic
rings and trinkets
drop and clink like porches full
of chimes, all the
talismen and
women gather round
standing still to listen
and to watch
a lover's fire
leave bright trails of light
from my enchanted man.
