WHAT IS VICTORIA'S SECRET?
1 Eight pairs of sexy panties
so many pathways
to the cherry tree.
2 The bamboo
has two new shoots:
my lover's spaghetti straps.
3 Tonight to drown my longing
I drink sake
from her seamless cups.
4 White birches
along the water.
Women in matching coordinates.
5 In this world
there are straw sandals.
Then there are bedroom slippers.
6 Our time on earth
high-cut brief.
7 From this planet,
the stars only come
in small and extra small.
8 The crows lift from the limbs.
Take off
your black thong.
9 Out of loneliness,
I try on
your blackberry brassiere.
