THE EMBRACE
Before me
A still statue of Venus..
Those her sunflower breasts,
Slightly tilted head,
Eyes trying to look beyond
The end of the horizon;
She isn't even aware that
The cloth wrapped around her waist
Is slowly slipping down....
And her hands,
Oh, her hands which aren't there......
......................
Oh,who is this taking me
In an marble embrace?
