Tantalize
This is a strip show,
a March
up and down
the hot and cold boardwalk.
We see a little tan
a covering
with strips of green
under a clear blue.
We believe in the dance,
allow it to excite, entrance –
our burning desire, inside,
poised to spring out and to life.
And then…
And then the unrelenting white sheath
descends again.
We are left wanting
yet a little longer.
Spring is a tease.
