A Valentine to Words


the night summons the palpable
the manifest
words address me
undress me in my sleep
remove satin and silk
unknot the liveried corset’s breathless grip
dismantle the banal accoutrements of daily appearances
disrobe the frilly frock of obedience
and cradle me
bare
unprotected
trembling
