Tomorrow is late coming
But you in flesh
High skirted strides
Fool me into thinking of August
When the heat folds
Your hair sideways
Like conch-shell swirls
And the Sunday legs
Of my desire
Criss-cross beneath you
You
You are infamous
The diamonds that sparkle
On your throat
Curtain my spinning eyes
From that Sunday smile
And a blouse that cuts
Deep veins below your shoulders
