A Certain Point of Beauty
He dreams, breathes, eats and sleeps less well
Than his once famous Spanish mistress and
One time, would be courtesan
He being a poet, a collector of moments
And a connoisseur of beauty
Arranges with a shepherd to sacrifice a lamb
He then considers leaving in the morning
Before her daily rituals begin
Of showering and combing
Of breast and pelvic muscle exercise and moaning
Long before her beauty frays
And leaves her just another extraordinarily
Attractive woman...
