Another Object Lesson

Intimate Apparel *

If I consent to measurement, a near
fine
condition in underwires, rounded shoulders,

Then it becomes by sheer artifice, perhaps,
Through the blind of officewear of what a fitting

Can accomplish, and what may be our blotted
Impressions through the day's articles
of black or sand dune.

So it tenses,
A nerve between the two, secured by f
illets and eyelets,
The mind's forgotten straight pins in the body--
Starred sentences, silences
Between us and some mouth's remaining rust patterns
We must solder up to,
Two abreast in the deep plunge and push up.

* I like the brand's unsuggestiveness in color or "urchin" for that particular turquoise.
