Trapezoidal Fish

   
 

To the extent that a woman
   
 
 

curves beautifully intersecting
   
 
 

lines inside and out,
   
   
 

closely cropped scents
   
 
 

easing and ebbing,
   
 
 

becoming in essence
   
   
 

the wellspring
   
 
 

of all this hard
   
 
 

and easy life—
   
   
 

really, to that extent
   
 
 

she's an eyebrow that dips,
   
 
 

a suggestive draw of lips,
   
   
 

a cleft beneath nostrils
   
 
 

or silky part falling
   
 
 

in a mesial way
   
   
 

that strikes the moon
   
 
 

to pudendal advantage,
   
 
 

gluteal furrow—Behold!
   
   
 

under infinitely rising
   
 
 

sundresses undresses
   
 
 

the intercrural trench
   
   
 

bewitching hard sidewalks
   
 
 

of molten sands.
   
 
 

But a person's real
   
   
 

alligator is neither lonely
   
 
 

bosom nor bony trout—
   
 
 

) It's incendiary minds (
   
   
 

I drink from all directions
   
 
 

Like a flashing silver
   
 
 

stiff and stout.
