Her Lingering Touch
Temptress
lying in glistening glee
lurking amid
the dancing dandy lions
moistened lips
slow kissing
springs skin.
Love spurned
such agony of
unrequited touch,
hell’s fury
bubbling
itching
break-up.
A Calamine Lotion
restraining order:
no contact
seclusion,
no waiting
by the phone.
Her memory
etched
upon more than a heart
haunts the fields
of our dreams.
