once...
i was with this man
he asked me
are you fast?
in putting on
your clothes again
someone could be coming
wrong question love
it's not about
covering up
our bodies
hiding
what's most beautiful
what counts
is stripping naked
how fast are you?now, this very moment
to stand tall
in your birthday suit
I am a little slow these days,
ReplyDeleteso are hippos. So are lizards
lazing in the sun. You come close.
I cock an eye out, give a stare,
a reptilian eye on you,
ruff up a little. Don't push me.
This is my sun, my rock.
i do feel your reptilian stare
ReplyDeleteit makes me very much aware....:)
Reptilian Mood
ReplyDeleteBehold! I intend
a shiver here and there, cold
stare, cold yellow stare
sizing you up, down
in the clear cool light of noon
in northern winter,
my sunny rock, my
wall, beneath my slow scaled chest
and my hissing breath.
