Sunday Legs (Free verse) by D. $ Fontera
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

Up the ladder: A Perfectly Normal Man
Down the ladder: dialect

"Your hair sideways like conch-shell swirls" is a great line. Get at least two more lines like that and it's an automatic 10 from me.

The first stanza could stand alone...and stand solid, at that! It wasn't as well, pulled together, to me, after that. Very nice, all-in-all, though! It seems you just stopped, rather than ended this.
"And a blouse that cuts
Deep veins below your shoulders"....?

Catchy Title!

The first stanza had my attention and visuals in a swirl, but the ending wasn't as bold as I was looking forward to.
