Whetting the Bed

There was a time

or so I have been told

when the world

was

wild and willing

spreading open to my wiles

without hesitation

oh so easy

to pierce

 that veil

a gossamer

intention

of spun silk

damp

against

the small of my back

Here

now

hold back

the vapid

day

from

succulent

night

oh yes

here

I

dream

tell me

It was  real

wasn't it
