sway pupils butterflies fragile whisper tangency
sultry close veranda mocha sweat eyelashes
it was a close
sweltering sultry night
on the verandah
feeling fragile
she began to sway in the heat
her pupils dilated
her eyelashes dripping with sweat
hallucinating
she heard butterflies whispering to her
in a moment of tangency
mocha ice cream
mountains of it
that's what's needed
to effect a cure
