Imitation Pearls
I spent my day shopping for rubies
without a hint of success
either the lines were to long
or because of over expense-
I waiting patiently for evening
and chose imitation pearls instead
when she came through the door
a path of rose petals lead to the bed-
Before long we were jay bird bare
drunk on the musk of the moon
the candle stood erect in my lair
the springs were soon singing like loons-
