On Borrowing Lead Pencils 04/?/94

the simple act of asking
is crucial to seduction
a demand easily met
while admitting the oversight
elle a le plaisir de m'aider
elle prends sa place
fingernails, leather
snaps
le bois d'un crayon
le bois, jaune et longue
elle le mets dans ma main
again, nails, leather
snap fumble snap
premeditation
meant to stay there weeks
and seven years later
walked out the door
squinting
