Graffiti
on my body
after midnight
your signatures
barely above the hairline
decorate my secret
places
armpits
behind my ears
under my sheets
paint canvases
from Modigliani
what I appreciate
about you most
is the way your eyelashes
turn down
demurely
as if to say
these small indiscretions
are not for public view
a private showing
tasting of citrus peel
and Campari
