She said take it off slowly so I can
Master when it begins; I want to watch
How you work button by button through
 
Each skillful undertaking and so he moved
As if to include her but she would not touch
Or help with jacket or tie, determined
 
To solve from where he comes and also
To learn the color of how he can disappear
Into the sea of more and more
 
Black. She is tired of thinking
Further. This time everything off until the firmament
Shows up. Upon which she puts down the compass
 
Of her body to lie along the pressed
Cloth and slip into all that dark material
Each arm, wrist against each cuff to see how
 
It is done.
