Come Play with Me

Lead you astray

Turn crystal to clay

Mix raw umber with oil

Giggle as you recoil

Smear your arm

No cause for alarm


Seek you out

Map the route

Roundabout way

Swerve, then sway

Bet a day’s wage

Can’t act my age


Define the context

Subvert the pretext

Seek raucous grace

Do an about-face

Imbibe all night

Make it just right


Add sugar to wine

Sangria tastes fine

Admire my toes

Discard my clothes

Invent your desire

Ride, ride, ride it with my fire
