Another Callous God
I
Until that dreadful, heart-thumping moment
I had been completely unaware
That a beautiful perfection
Such as yours could so singularly exist...
Being in ever greater amounts of
Unparalleled loveliness!
And how, someday, I should learn something
Of wishful atonement;
Recalling again the quickly-flung stare
Suggestive of a bewildering affection:-
Your rude, opened mouth forcefully kissed,
The horrid pause, then...the slow unhitching
Of your chiffon dress.
