Mistress Waki Sashi

Silence
Awaiting my tender summons
A gasp of release, a glimmer of silver
She emerges from her sculptured bed

Materialise with sinuous grace my love
Iridescent her passage
Her kiss for another
A gift of rapture

She weeps for her actions
Wipe away her scarlet tears
Exhale of belonging
My mistress slips quietly beside me once more
