The Bottom Line Insight fueled by too much inebriation - led to a very unexpected sleepover with Miss Crumple, after she "got" me, as, perhaps, nobody ever has! Not even windswanwoman.
You were with me All night, and yet We did not embrace (other than when I caressed the silken perfection of your porcelain face) as you lay crumpled in the corner of my sofa Instead, I laid you down On my white chaise longue And covered you over With a warm white blanket That matched your skin. You looked at peace And to my surprise, You stayed – as I layed Fully dressed across my big brass bed, within eyeshot of you Earlier, in the evening, When you “got” me I was stunned!!!! That Anybody Would EVER understand The controlled chaos That I express in my art BUT YOU DID! I asked you to tell me "if there was anything there" in my art -- and you told me. Luckily, there was - and you said: "Your work has such puissance"! You are the art historian And, I am the artist you came to (study me) you push and prod I willingly explain, and go where you like (I want to go with you!) For, Miss Crumple, I find you Almost unbearably Attractive – and ache ABSOLUTELY ACHE! For your touch But, I have far too much Respect (and affection) to point you toward the brass rail at the head of my bed (even though I could have) given how very Blasted we both were! (sotto voce: if it ever happens, I want you to be fully aware and responsive!) But, I also needed to Make it perfectly clear Miss Crumple That We did not embrace For lack of desire! In the morning, after all the pelee rouge, zubrowka and smoke (of the night before, had worn off) We were both shy And didn’t really know What to do - or say. (you may have even thought that I didn't want you, by my restraint!) We avoided coming close To each other, and you Left me left me needing to tell you (in this poem) How I really feel about you Miss Crumple So, now you know: I simply adore you (for now) from afar  |
