One Way Journey

It is not the man who has little, but he who desires more, that is poor. - Thoreau

'neath the mile-high shade of allure and desire

i wanted to ascend the slit of her dress

resting in the opulence of plush lips

swinging back and forth

in the curvature of precarious hips

never to return

Author's Note

"As all curves have reference to their centers or foci, so all beauty of character has reference to the soul, and is a graceful gesture of recognition or waving of the body toward it." - Thoreau
