Love Before the Age of Covid

Love Before the Age of Covid
  
She limbers up like a Degas Ballerina
Each flex a gymnopedie  
Played on the Steinway of her body  
On her closer walk up to me    
Where she faces me with her music  
To gather my rosebuds  
As I loosen my silk tie  
To breathe    
When her Pisa leans    
Into full cleavage bloom  
While she wipes the tableaux    
Of the remains from her day  
Until the persistence of my vision  
Is met in a Satie moment  
With her epicurean smile
