A Southern Girl's, Uncoiling

A Southern Girl’s, Uncoiling

Whenever I mention you, 
the doctor always asks
what do I see,

now that you’re gone,  
when I think of you.  
I say I see thighs,

tanned and gleaming, 
kissed by the proper 
Bonwit skirt, rising

through the terminal 
toward me and above 
your thighs 

that smile,
a Southern girl’s, 
uncoiling.
