Dream Song 69
Love her he doesn't but the thought he puts
into that young woman
would launch a national product
complete with TV spots and skywriting
outlets in Bonn & Tokyo
I mean it
Let it be known that nine words have not passed
between herself and Henry;
looks, smiles.
God help Henry, who deserves it all
every least part of that infernal and unconscious
woman, and the pain.
I feel as if, unique, she...Biddable?
Fates, conspire.
- Mr. Bones, please.
- Vouchsafe me, Sleepless One,
a personal experience of the body of Mrs Boogry
before I pass from lust!
