Temptress
Heat soars through the body, reaching
The face and beading forth like lakes
Easter light, damn spring
He has just left, the washing machine repairman,<
leaving no void only
A pitiful piece of paper implying a lower balance
I should Have stood ready by the door when he came in thongs and a short nightgown, bedhead, The temptress lying buried someplace What did he smell?
