    Lola.

    There's a kerfuffle on another thread,
    With men who can't get Lola out of there head,
    Lola could be in the forces,dominatrix or priest,
    For all i know Lola is man ,woman or beast.

    Gleaming in a bucket of clean water.
    And again let fall. Little pleasant splashes
    From each other's work would bring us to our senses.

    So while the parish priest at her bedside
    Went hammer and tongs at the prayers for the dying
    And some were responding and some crying
    I remembered her head bent towards my head,
    Her breath in mine, our fluent dipping knives--
    Never closer the whole rest of our lives.
