She doesn’t think that she’s a voluptuary - too easy
mistaking which keys to play; and yet there’s sense
where inference coveys her ‘pleasured stance’ has
reasoned courtesy - obeisance to sensual currency
I do believe; in curves and waves embracing space
with tactile gracefulness, she undulates through life
appraising how she feels - sees no validity in mien-
expressed accomplishments of this as ‘sex-appeal’
That isn’t me she says; the real me doesn’t play at
boudoir games - in life I’m just a woman living less
in strife of courtesan’s restraint, while being free &
more adept to bend & sway; as such any embrace
acquires priority when those gestures suggest this
really is the best of intimacy we immutably need
