The brassiere strap

The brassiere strap

 

She wore the old Cleopatra longing for

Her stud lover brassiere strap true love visible out to

The left of her sleeveless black Elizabeth Taylor so seductive blouse against her untanned in July

White man’s skin longing to be pinking sheared

Slowly amor, slowly amor.

At a pleasant forty-five degree angle from me

The lighthouse spy I dance like

Mikhail Baryshnikov in Sorrows of Young Werther

Appreciatively tantalized.
