Eating Dessert First
I'll leave the artful cosmetics
the big hair,
couture clothes
flashy jewelry
and killer nails
to the women who need such lures.
I'll meet you
with my hair down around my shoulders
just a breath a perfume
behind my ears,
and on each wrist---
and the only bait
will be a dot of honey
on my lips---
Smoky Mountain sourwood...
Ready for dessert?
