Lithesome Legs and Long. (Poetry).


LITHESOME LEGS AND LONG

Aesthetics ever subjective
         we choose beauty where
         discerned-magnify
         the fetish of the body.
         Statuesque and feminine
         anatomy we praise-
         lithesome legs and long-
         willow bending to the breeze.

We decide beauty. Sly
        voyeurs are we to
        glimpse texture of the skin or
        sweep of languid hair.
        There would be no loveliness
        did we not ache to touch
        our own fine illusion
        and start to find it solid.
