PURPLE
With glistening eyes
And all the innocence
Of a child with that sweet wave
Of her ebony bangs
Restrained by a metallic little clip,
My nude, honey-dipped lover
Looked at me and rose—
But I could see the traces
Left by purple–headed
Warrior of love,
Like aural imagery
Of body heat, superimposed:
Two shining dollops in her hair
And a droplet on her nose!
And all the innocence
Of a child with that sweet wave
Of her ebony bangs
Restrained by a metallic little clip,
My nude, honey-dipped lover
Looked at me and rose—
But I could see the traces
Left by purple–headed
Warrior of love,
Like aural imagery
Of body heat, superimposed:
Two shining dollops in her hair
And a droplet on her nose!
