Time to link poems? Time to link poems. This is "A Beauty". With pale pink fabric, with floral design Her skirt clings to her; she cleans a counter- I gasp, trace from ankle to perfect hip.

I want to ask about the men who drink their families into bankruptcy, The men who beat jealous bruises into their lovers, The men enthralled in evil who assault children, The men who remember nothing of war except the color of France’s soil. I sit silently on my bed. I wonder which she wishes me to be.
