natural fibers

photo by moineau

cotton and silk

raw fibers to

caress le corps

wrap short thick legs

embellish softening arms

we tried polyester once

black and slippery

sexy you said

but couldn't wait

to peel it off

we even tried vinyl

but knew it was

a terrible mistake

when a maiden ran

crying from the house

give me cotton

fuzzy sweaters washed

two hundred times

ribbed legwarmers cuffed

at knee and ankle

dress my neck in

chinese silks

thin and tearable, with

cherry blossoms to wrap around

my extra large head

drown me in fabric

cotton caftan or jilbab

i'll flow like a river

under your swaying boat

water lapping at your lips

on a large flat bed

soft undergarments strewn

across the floor and furniture

you will kiss noontide shadows

under the passion tent
