Aimée Keeble
Détente
As a child
Boldly did I pull down my granny’s skirts and how she loved me for my
Barbarity
And I wonder now, as I watch the world with hungry lynx lips-
Would it love me if I helped its unraveling
If all it needs (wants) is a final shuck
A tender yanking
And its bareness finally
Exhaustive and new,
Arms open ready to be dressed again
Boldly did I pull down my granny’s skirts and how she loved me for my
Barbarity
And I wonder now, as I watch the world with hungry lynx lips-
Would it love me if I helped its unraveling
If all it needs (wants) is a final shuck
A tender yanking
And its bareness finally
Exhaustive and new,
Arms open ready to be dressed again
