Laila

posed against Italian wood
her longer than dangerous legs
are muscled invitations
to a scholarship of flesh

deft at squeezing skulls
cracking open assignments
at her weary students
who speak a common
tongue of fatigue

her love consume
learn to drink her desire
il suo amore consuma
impara bere il suo desiderio

her front row of favorites
apples in her eyes
delectable nibbles
young collegiate tissues
listen intently
to the clack of her Cuban heels

twin white bandanas
girdle her each thigh
knotted tightly
near the pink blush
she reveals
for special boys
and girls of class
