Eagle Nipples

   
 

Where eagle nipples
   
 
 

Soar, I come
   
 
 

to watch.
   
   
   
   
 

"Don't you think it's
   
 
 

Scandalous,
   
 
 

My wearing shorts
   
 
 

and floppies?"
   
   
   
   
 

We won't mention
   
 
 

Finely woven
   
 
 

Transparent
   
 
 

tube tops.
   
   
   
   
 

Like a puppy
   
 
 

Attending to
   
 
 

An opening can,
   
 
 

I listen.
   
   
   
   
 

"Let's see. What
   
 
 

Else?
   
 
 

It's good
   
 
 

to settle."
   
   
   
   
 

Her father spent
   
 
 

Hours
   
 
 

Regaling her with
   
 
 

stories.
   
   
   
   
 

How birds
   
 
 

Soar,
   
 
 

Birds flock.
   
 
 

"What's flock?"
   
   
   
   
 

"They settle. Let's
   
 
 

See,
   
 
 

What else? They
   
 
 

chatter."
   
   
   
   
 

She bends close to
   
 
 

Uncover the napkin
   
 
 

I'm hiding.
   
   
   
   
 

"What's it say?" she
   
 
 

Tugs,
   
 
 

Breasting
   
 
 

the table.
   
   
   
   
 

(i love you) it
   
 
 

Whispers,
   
 
 

Before I can
   
 
 

help it.
   
   
   
   
 

"It does not,"
   
 
 

She says.
   
 
 

It says,
   
 
 

'vector.'"
   
   
   
   
 

She gives me a
   
 
 

Look,
   
 
 

Gathering items here
   
 
 

and there.
   
   
   
   
 

Imagine drinking her kisses!
   
 
 

Unthirsty,
   
 
 

She flies away—
   
 
 

to settle.
