The Tease

Neville

The Tease

 

She gave him far more

than a glimmer

But then, so much less

than a glimpse ..

And although both his

eyes were wide open

He was

so hungry and blinded

By her false

vulnerability that she

So skillfully

portrayed and not

to mention of course,

The very

near nakedness

She chose to hide

nothing behind

Beneath the cheesecloth

all that glitter and chintz …

          Neville,

          Teasing can be a very dangerous undertaking that can lead to an undertaker. My great grandmother recounted a story to my grandmother about a neighbor of hers that was drowned by her teaser.
          Her motto:
          (in Italian, of course)
          —proceed with caution
          (procedi con cautela)!
          Thank you for sharing this noteworthy write.

            This can be so true in many circumstances Neville and can be hard to avoid.
