Life Is Just A Dress Shop Window

Full of pretty colors

And delicate fabric

Inviting imagination

Arousing inspiration

On short summer

Nights of quiet

Passion

Full of stories of reflection

And heated promises

Broken before dawn

Desire described

In embroidery

Traced over

Breasts and buttocks

Marking the place

Of origin

Muted and serene

Festive and pious

Bangles and baubles

And all things

Beautiful, bountiful

Dark and mysterious

As women are wont

Aloof and untouchable

As that part of man’s heart

They haunt
