one part of the body
in the corners of a quilt

lingering above one part of the body the white rose
could be an eight-pointed star over kohl-obscured
eyes the pleasure of your company an aromatic
orange peeled as a starry flower in the corners
of a quilt in a viscous glaze a floppy petal star
for a forehead lingering over one part of the body
the pleasure of your company in viscous glaze
the white rose could be an eight-pointed star
an aromatic orange peeled as a starry flower
a floppy petal star for a forehead above
kohl-obscured eyes in the corners of a quilt lingering
over one part of the body the pleasure
of your company in viscous glaze a floppy petal
star for a forehead a view forever from the bluest
ocean the white rose could be an eight-pointed
star over kohl-obscured eyes lingering over one part
of the body an aromatic orange peeled as
a starry flower in the corners of a quilt the
pleasure of your company in viscous glaze
the white rose could be an eight-pointed star
an aromatic orange peeled as a starry flower
over kohl-obscured eyes in the corners of a quilt
a view forever from the bluest ocean
