The naked truth April 24, 2012


  I need no pictures to picture her naked,

though she sends the naked pictures anyway

 for me to peruse in the middle of the night,

 like a voyeur peeping through a lace curtain

 that my ex ray vision has already penetrated,

 pictures of her hand placed just so

 above this smooth-skinned and usually invisible

part of her body, like a Creamsicle I used to lick as a kid,

 always anxious to get to the soft inside

 where the cream lingers on my lips,

 her gift like a precious memory

I have yet to see in the flesh,

if I ever do, perhaps condemned to witness

 it all in my mind at a distance -- the naked truth.
