Soul Unguent.... Poem by delilah contrapunctal.... yes, that's how I intended to spell it.........

Soul Unguent....

you have
already won me...over..
and over...
and over...
and over...
and...
I continue to love those you do not....
the same, I'm sure,
applies to you.....
as a salve with which we anoint one another.....
we are perfect imperfection....
.and, at times, most slippery.....
and tasty...
.....and lovely.....

I have eaten all of the plums
and
two of the apricots...
I have left
a slice of pizza
and
all of the cherries for you...........

the slam was unusually decorous....
mist followed me down the lane
and
I broke the #%@&# latch on the front gate....
the cat climbed quickly up the oak tree as I swore.....
and
he has chosen to sleep outside....
the prawns are for him....as he will forgive me
and
come in
to curl his tail around your morning ankles.....
