IN THE FLESH, IN THE BLOOD
Found myself in her territory
Saturday night
She was in full
Flesh and blood splendour
She was blonde
She was brunette
She was rouge
She was melanin rich
She was petite
She was medium
She was voluptuous
LOLLY!
Then I hear a voice say
Look
Don’t touch
Keep your mouth shut
She came to me
She caressed
My face
She kissed me
She whispered
You are so sweet
Into my right ear this time
My left ear the next time
Many times
I held my breath
I imagined
I was in a straight jacket
I wished
I was words
In the book
Of her life story
I’m still in a daze
