Silk Skirts

Diaphanous silk skirts glide gracefully around tiny ankles attached to perfect legs. And the string quartet plays in the background. Strong hands encircle a tightly cinched waste And breath brushes against a neck. Then the clock strikes midnight or the alarm sounds. The spell breaks, totalitarian reality invades. And dreams flutter away, evasive and light, Like diaphanous silk skirts.
