Shutter
your eyes
to any sight
Blank out
all the shapes
but one
Point
your nipples
to the sun
Arch
your long back
to catch the
Light
or preferably
the eye. Now
Look
into the distance
but do not
See
anything so absurdly
close to you
Whisper
not the words
he wants to hear
Hold
on to your
own dark thoughts
Smile
the contemptuous
smile.
A select few know who the subject of this poem is. The image of the lizard sunbathing in Puglia ia a convenient add on many years after the event in question. Now that I'm back on line and almost in the correct time frame, it seems a good point to remind you that 4 poems are now on YouTube and can be found at the following addresses .....

Good work.
