    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 sunbed sulks,

    sniggers  at such seditious piffle.
