For Lisa After All

she once was a fair woman
not taken
to

or

two many boots

nor
the
rhythm
of
the
sea

splendor
or
glamour

what the cat
would see
in
the
mirror

pleasuring
motion
summer thick
surge

assisted
memory
damn
live
friend
standing
in

sweating

not
like
me

mercurial
and
cold

call
him
ebony
