SPA

 

...float with nibbling fish? not a dish

my body relishes or holds much faith in

 

unleash some fetishes

 

split mangoes, the touch of tropic fruit

on human pelt, seductive dripping,

how good it felt

 

and the frozen yogurt thrill?

lungs catch their breathe

flesh warms to silk

 

snow caves, honeycomb wraps,

24carat gold masks

all promise heaven on earth

 

the soul on a sun bed sulks,

sniggers  at such seditious piffle.
