Must love be a foregone conclusion
that precedes the need for dark-chocolate cherry cordials
or do those magnificent trifles warrant a daily place in our lives
independent of any lofty notions like love?

From this angle
the dome, the lanai
you without your top
long and carved
in the wet heat
of the canopy
your eyes made up
as peacocks
your breasts
luscious in stretch
Modiglianiesque

Sensate
the sex
like bullets
come way too quick
intensely direct
muscles tauten
sinew tightens
lengthens
carves the lithe line
of the body
down the legs
through the stroked arch
to polished red pointes
on a rush
of warm water
she floats
reduced
to a point
face-up
calm
down
the
unwound
winding
creek
