Confessions of a Logophile


 Leg


From this angle

Sprawled on you

Your leg looks

Detached

Like it belongs to itself

And I could know it

Alone

I wonder if your leg

Has the same relationship with me

That you do

That your head does

Or your hands

What does Leg think

When I am around

I have a feeling I do not matter

Leg might toe me up

Contemplate my mouth

I know Leg’s a snob

Critical of me

Giving me strange glares

From down there

Maybe Leg is just jealous

Caressing floor the way I caress

Your perfect skin

I will whisper to Leg tonight

I will caress Leg

Wrap Leg around my legs

Buy Leg a new shoe

From this angle

Sprawled on you

Your leg looks

Alone
