From the book: Black Tights

"BURNING LED / BLACK TIGHTS"
 
Hard as nails
            Pounding
The screaming angel
Pummels the crowd
 
The profound renown
Soaring over it all
 
. . . As you
Relinquish in mass
the Kashmir you inhabit
 
Young girls
Melt in your mouth
Led to the burning . . .
Honey dripping
All the way home
 
Honeys . . . dripping
All . . . the . . . way . . . home
 
In Southern California . . .
The boys
Look forward to summer time                                                            
Because . . .
There is nothing like the girls
. . . In bikinis
            On Southern California beaches
 
But in Oregon . . .
The boys
Look forward to winter time
Because . . .
There is nothing like the girls
. . . In black tights
            Holiday shopping
 
You . . .
            Walked on by
With a sideways glance
 
I . . .
Knew that you
. . . Knew
I was watching you
But I wished
. . . Oh how I wished
            I knew
What you were thinking . . .
 
From out of the blue
. . . You appeared
 
I saw you
. . . From across the room
 
My eyes were fixed like magnets . . .

You walked towards me . . .
I shuddered . . .
I melted . . .
