No. 17 Graceful
For Isabelle No. 1
Everything you do,
you do it with that natural style
of a flower blossoming
or a cat leaping from the table
to the couch.
Everything you do,
you do it with that natural style.
From making the strings
of your cello quiver
between your legs,
(The legs that I have found gardens of desire,
and laid between them in fever and in bliss)
to getting ready in the morning
(to go to work
after we have drank so much
that I can smell the whiskey in the room)
Everything you do is
mischievous
and graceful at the same time,
like the angels
presenting their
final art project to gods.
