Talc De Venise
I bought Talc de Venise today.*
Do you marvel at the name?
It conjures white rain on canals.
Imagine going on a Venetian bridge,
and white rain falling.
This is not snow...
No this is real rain tempered
or tampered with real talc,
the sort to pour on babies' tummies
when they're sore...
More imagination now...
Imagine being on a bridge,
and holding your tongue out to the rain,
REAL rain this time,
and then letting it soak you all it dares.
