Pipe Dreams
Alison Eastley

   
 
  I misheard lyrics playing on the stereo
when I was waiting for mascara to dry.
It emphasized the luminous shine of
wanting you because all afternoon
I'd fantasized about what we could do
with soft leather. If this is less controlled
that craving a Moroccan market place
where women wear black and men
escape to pray every Friday, I'd say
desire could be the tantalizing lower lip
on the mouth of the Mediterranean Sea.
