(""I was pretty shocked"", said the reader. So 'ware. She's not easily shocked.) High voltage verse, this, in free verse for a sequence of lyrics commemorating a love affair and its termination. Intimate corporeal and physical detail and extravagant praise thereof, in what might mildly be termed erotica. D.H. Lawrence-move over.
