chagall backdrop

For long exquisite time
bare-ass to the wall
keeping time
in sunny cut
glade

down a shady walk
straight at the cleft
where my Lady
keeps a trinket
a forget-me-not
perhaps

or a silver chain
knotted at fine times
to be pulled
ever so lightly

to escalate
on inhalation

unrehearsed
erotic
unrepentant
heroica
