Pentimento
Palomino hair
captivating hips,
fecund.
captivating hips,
fecund.
Eschewing eye contact,
interaction.
Sovereign.
Enthralled by the inanities
of London dailies…
nonetheless,
lovely
— ordinarily so.
Insinuating her petite body
into crowded queue
Immediate
faintly forward
Pressed as proximity permits
sans physical touch.
She,
dwarfed by the mass of my body
— enfolded within the
field-space of my being —
Bent on preventing intrusion
— imposition
my honor
stills and silences
the maleness
of body and mind.
In this
non-ordinary place
ineffable constituencies
of sentience
apprehend the other
— subtle, nuanced —
delight
dance
pirouette
in
Essential recognition.
…the gentle currency of intimacy.
