A porn star (that, of course, only jesus can like)

(for Shelley Lubben)


By girl is meant the cute one on the curb,
  and a girl  resolved into a dew:      
  with ketchup for blood, who
  tries dying to walk, a tawny

 almond-   eyed

   star maxing out in mid-teen,
   and 'a talking of sweet fields
   instead of Him-- she who left
   thru the front door

According to received text (of Kinsey's, say)
  and as it's prescribed, a waspy eye
  is prelude to wing to joy:  a mostly
  forested night to start in

  because from the start she's already
   a pure joy

Rains on the host body (to the exclusion
  of achy homes since dad was never
  ever there) are proof needing none:
  as are red ringlets worn over ears,

  lip gloss, deepening, & hips and walk
  (however sunk into the gunk of love)

She's a slew of powdery moths,
  who've adored one eye each--
  pillows turned into cheeks,
  a girl resolved into a dew
 

Ah, there's a waspy sylva of them, & they'll
  go thru the front door
