of a hundred suitors
stroking her silver bow
diaphanous, duplicitous

steel blue tattoo splice of life
lip-synch fathom's phantom then some
smokey saffron Sanskrit poem

claws dug snug into mine rising
falling breast;
deep enough to pinch the nerves
without drawing blood
wriggling acupuncture

Staring Sated Smirk of Long

She loves me like a Kind
Generous Woman
