118 Choruses of girlish levity

118                      

Choruses of girlish levity

linger, a whisper of musk.

Like deer, scenting and skittering, we

are drawn in a net fine as dusk.

 

At this shy affinity, a goddess

exults.  Obediently hunting us,

they quicken their timbrels.  Not by chance

we are tamed and tethered to a glance.
