Now let me help you with that stubborn clasp,
Untie your hair and let burnt auburn fall;
Let not your wanton eyes here have to ask,
As warm embrace does offer up your all;
And let me lay you on red satin down,
Slow running fingers cross white timid breasts,
Now let me whisper sweetly, soft and low,
As your moist hallowed reaches I caress;
And may rose pouting lips have want of mine,
And may my cheek fair gently brush your face;
Your kisses reminiscent of fine wine,
Our undulating forms black shadows trace.
How sweet forbidden love, my Magdalen,
And when the morning dawns, what of us then?

This poem was like a careless look on a warm, say hot, August evening in New Orleans, unexpectedly inviting and from another time.
