time, lady, is in praise of the idea of time & the surprise of your smile is a wilderness in cruel disguise two hips, wide open to the world, a set of strong hands & thighs are great wobbling moons a sudden & intense warmth at the suggestion of romance like a lover that never learned to speak but, surely, this is the more pressing sentiment beliefs of mountains & the sovereignty of stars olives trees orange peels jungle is a distant memory the suddenness of children is leaving her face
