Buttered Curls

 

Buttered Curls

 

Milk curls of frigid butter saucered,

dished and melting in sun drench.

She’s frisking past in swishing skirt

that brushes your chair, fusses your hair

putting the mango, cubing the melon,

weighing with cucumber cool hands,

her measured portions to tantalize

and there’s just a sparkle in her eyes.

Oh, it stirs you and you are aware

of what is shouldn’t and seldom there.

Later will come in night’s silent sighs,

her salad tossed, her noiseless cries,

bring before your mind image sharp,

hot sauce to sip, keen scissors part,

in buttered curls, in oils, in dressing,

perforating thin tissued paper skin,

be first into her light heart entering.
