Bandit breezes, a tinge wealthier now Favorite line
Having made off with encores of your fragrance-
Invisible You's: contracted no doubt
in some protracted embrace or in
appropriations of skin by the other.
Out there, taut, parted in red-sea fashion, You start losing me in the second stanza.
the rows of a virgin garden tilled for
the ambition of tomatoes and corn,
not remains of our fling, flung motionless,
like a prize baby-doll flailed till faceless.

is what makes it so enjoyable
for me at least.
