Tricking the pages,
Appearing in perfumed fantasies.
Crystal glass,
Moments preparing the
Skin,
Budded enchantment.
Adornment, the backwards effect
Of feeling,
Plummeting to dark waters,
The absent orator.
Hers the glance to
Eternity,
His the momentary realization of
Taste.
Piece of prism love,
Fractured steps of
A cool undulation,
Soft marabou slippers
Sliding across the living room
Rug…
Diamond reverie,
Candy body topped to be savored,
Sugar lips reciting the night’s revelation…
Smoky jazz,
Wrapped to the jams,
Carried under a satin layer.
Spat way up high,
Roused in music
Trailing past itself,
The oncoming quiet…
