Give me pectorals in plunging ruffled necklines / give me coy breasts in tweed- buttoned vests / give me faux hawks / edged lines– / jaws and otherwise / give me pseudonyms / embered eyes / give me swagger drip with hip dips / strapping brows / petaled lips / give me the middle of shadow-bled borders / from where the moon’s man is La Luna / Die Sonne is not your daughter /
