Only Indian Nacked Boobs

non Scritta

Interesting how we fall in love:

in my case, absolutely. Absolutely and, alas, often -

so it was in my youth.

And always with rather young men -

immature, sulking, or participating shyly kicking the dead leaves:

the manner of Balanchine.

Neither saw them as repetitions of the same thing.

I, with my inflexible Platonism,

my proud to see one thing at a time:

I ruled against the indefinite article.

Yet, the error of my youth

made me feel hopeless, because they repeated

as is usually true.

But you felt something beyond the archetype -

true expansiveness, exuberance and love of the earth

profoundly foreign to my nature. A merit of mine, blessed

my good luck to you.

blessed absolutely, in the manner of those years.

And you in your wisdom and cruelty

gradually taught me that there is no sense of that term.
