In front of me
walks a red dress
low cut
with straps
on a tanned body
A strong big body
bigger than my own
In front of me
walks
a red dress
topped with blonde hair
bottomed
with glossed black shoes
holding shapely legs
which bespeak
of a magnificent promise
Now
only now
in this moment
of the highest hope
and aspiration
should she turn around
and invite me home
I would enter heaven
yet should I make her
into more
this God given door
and stay lingering
in her driveway
then
the dress
the hair
the shoes
the legs
would come raining down
upon my soul
what was so alive
would soon be dead.
