Tastedriven

I wasp about her for a glimpse of bare leg

She wafts her scent

Copper taste like length-licked nickel coins

Her leopard breath would tempt a coy.

My vantage coign the suitorworn step between shadow-crept foyer

And unkempt bed.

I am lost, MIA as De Loys’s ape, seeking her pain-seeding chamber.

I am shamefully faraway

Even her shapely speck purloined my breath.

She steeled bravely my lepid addresses

Her worn hems

Target of many an ardent bard’s scarletting confession.
