Omelette


R.A.D. Stainforth rustles up an omelette...

They tumble

with a flick of the wrist,
strut bulbous, sensitive.

A strand of hair falls over my face,
eyes shut, I lose equilibrium,
whisk fork-wild.

Body language is the key
to make it delicious,
it doesn't matter
if the shell breaks free.

Accept texture,
savor the mystery

it might just be
a bit of random nails,
luxurious in the process.

arabesque of the spine



 A woman’s beauty lies, not in any exaggeration of the specialized zones, nor in any general harmony that could be worked out by means of the sectio aurea or a similar aesthetic superstition; but in the arabesque of the spine. The curve by which the back modulates into the buttocks. It is here that grace sits and rides a woman’s body.
