Rain-shod, I imagine your face slick with wet;
Your sturdy glasses frame
and clear lenses blurred,
the buzz of your hair sullied —
a sopping dandelion of mused black & grey.
Well,
I assume you'd mirror yourself in equal
to my look of wild hope at a rendezvous,
my drizzled sight pushing past the clouds of our noon.
You flush at my nerves;
I enquire at your bowed head.
Plain as day, I ask you only to look at me;
teach yourself the face of my name,
come armed with your greeting and friendly question. See me reciprocal and
willing to embrace you.
In you, I will learn the perfect vitality
of your stoic masculinity;
the visage of your potential palpable
to my girlish pliancy.
‘Ere my lust goes further — spiral adoration
borne of Venus
and Lissajous wanting in me.
Know, man, that you inspire a wicked fantasy —
You hold your umbrella to the left of me, pointing its curved structure
over us in order to evade the rain. This is love, I think;
the weather of you soon to pass by as fleeing as autumn-dead weeds.
