...her breast
Proves her blessed of the blest.

So she sings her little song,
Happy as the day is long,
hunting in her camisole

Even lice have leave to live;

For she kills them just the same.)

Mad Maria goes unchid,

...Beach on a late Sunday in September. She gave him zinnias 
 and cosmos in the plenitude of July. 
He gave her a camisole and a brooch. She gave him a cover and a break. 
He gave her Venice, Florida. She gave him Rome, New York. 
He gave her a false sense of security. She gave him a true sense of uncertainty. 
He gave her the finger. She gave him what for. 
He gave her a black eye. She gave him a divorce. 
He gave her a steak for...Read more of this...
