It is a secret
of touching,
holds her to her past
as she holds 52 men.
She is ‘Great sex’,
she is lonely,
moments
with men
to create a life.
Is that what Elise wants?
Who is she?
I could not stop,
this broken heart,
the moments of present.
Melancholic prose.
52 Men by Louise Wareham Leonard
Red Hen Press, $15.95
Similar to Delta of Venus by Anais Nin, but less erotic.
