I have been too long from love
which is warm sand 'tween
my toes, the sun, and the shore
'gainst the infinite murmur
is slender, full, and thick with
people and people and people
skins many some golden others
pale as snow, but not that let's
recall your short dark and olive
(hair;body)
teeth imperfect perfect and above
splayed the wide umber of thy nose
and above pierced twin pools of jade
(
and below)
lean firm
distilled youth easy
******* effortless
stomach soft marvelous
(now from sand up)
feet pleasing colours
toes chips
calves diamonds
on bones
thighs unmerciful
and inward folding
hungrily 'tween they
a small stubble
and
heaven
