stricken with panic, I take one last breath and hold it in for as long as I can
recall when she wore it
a smile brighter than suns
crossed fingers dissuade but invoke you
invoking, with a kiss of the teeth and the fur that I love
when itÕs crowded, a flash of light is most relieving
she wants red, blue, but white makes me dark
flick away the tears and wave it in the air for all to see
escalating, I see the bed that will be ours and theirs
fabrics, stimulate to touch drive me to question
where iÕm from
felt all the lights, felt the hunger
tasteful are those approved especially
