13 Ways of Looking
at a Woman Format Copied from Wallace Stevens
I.
Filtering through the ceiling of leaves,
the moonlight dances
upon the supple virgin skin of the Forest Queen.
II.
The wind plays
through the Autumn Sunset
of her hair.
III.
Shadows of trees sail
upon the deep blue ocean
of her eyes.
IV.
The breeze climbs
over the dusky hued hills
of her lips.
V.
The loose tresses of her hair
whip over the fields
of her milky white skin.
VI.
The cool night air
settles upon the frontier
of her soft lithe neck.
VII.
The lightness of a slender blade of grass
leans upon the slope of her shoulder.
VIII.
A slowly falling maple leaf
comes to rest upon the soft pillow
of her breast.
IX.
A lonely glistening drop of forest dew
wanders aimlessly
across her slim tight stomach.
X.
The slow moving air
treks through the forest of hair
covering her sex.
XI.
The sweetness of the air wanders,
lonely like a drifter,
through the valley of her thighs.
XII.
Silver hues of moonlight
flow down her legs.
XIII.
The cool shallowness of a forest pool
envelopes the tips of her feet.
