She
snakes around
in her
hand painted
body suit
an amazing
work of art
insisting
I pay attention
daring me
to look
but not touch
if
I know what
is good for me
and
I must get
the message
for though
my hands tremble
and
my palms itch
I keep them
to myself
instead of
reaching for
what is tempting
but at present
off limits.
