Poetry: BOMBSHELL

Not Harlow gold as 
the raspy girl singer sang of
nor "dishwater" as 
the sometime raspy guy
singer - of blessed memory - sang of
but a new brilliance
a miracle
of chemistry and
care and sheer
chutzpah
An improvement on perfection
to take
the ethereal sparkle
of your eyes
to a new level
of intensity
insanity my temporary reaction
You've made me crazy for you -
again - the sensual and spiritual
separated
only by a hair's breadth
and again you are my idol
not Billy, mind you but
still
I've got thoughts of
a white wedding on
a perfect day with the city
below us
and the sky
endless as our
devotion
above
