The Sexual Smile
OThe sexual smile the birth and death of kings,
The Plathian axe, the tree, and how it ringd
The horse unsaddled throws its mistress off
The ending of a life, the voice that scoffs.
Even the ugliest man can tell good lies
How a woman’s beauty hurt men’s eyes.
The sexual smile the enemy,the child
The hint of promise paralysed his smile
