ODE TO THE DOTE
There's no need for worries,
no cause for alarms,
I just want you to hold me like a kitten in KoKo's arms.
And for this,
I would be willing to match you, dote for dote
In a volley of infatuation,
like two suns lavishing each other
in collective, resplendent attention.
Bystanders beware!
You will be set ablaze by the amazement of our gaze

Jeff - I love this line - "My mother told me as a child that all the baptismal water in Italy has traces of a glimmering amber, and that this tinge of color in the colorless is the only physical evidence of sprezzatura in its purest and most single self."
ReplyDeleteCan you introduce me to your mother? I'm not sure we have met.
