A Careful Tango With A Tiger

A Careful Tango With A Tiger


Cask O' de Lane
mistress in the red light
bathe yonder longing night
where calico patterns--

              random flowing floating form
              enticing rhythmic wonder;
              a wandering pirouette facade.

They weave...
entwined enchanting dance'd wake.
For play, their distance to passion is.
Hold fast...
esoteric eccentric want
instinct natural in the beast
bolster bodies contentment--weak.
Pry dead fingers' loneliness
loosen inhibitions holding this
racing pulsing false release;
game of teasing flesh.
Cautious animal roused in stealth
roaring fiercely frenzied run
savanna man-child pallid son
impotence pays in coin for time
immerse meandering wanton mind.
