Footnote: Two Intimate Tanka. 1 [ /;\ ]
Clad, each, in thigh-high
white socks (otherwise naked),
the boyfriends---hands clasped---
walk the seaside sand (damp edge);
stars, looking on, admire them.
Damp sand stains the soles
of the boyfriends' long, white socks:
other stains, later
(thrusts; the delicate friction---
soft cloth, receptive seamstrings).
Dawn: boyfriends' bedheads;
relaxed limbs embracing; crisp
white sheets cover them;
long white socks (soles sandgrimed) sheathe
their legs and feet, toes to thighs.
