Shade of Fanny Elssler! I dreamt that you passed over me last night in sleep
was it you who was asleep or was it me? sweet shade
shade shade shill spade agony freak
geek you were not nor were you made of ribbons but of warm moving flesh & tulle
you were twining your left leg around your right as if your right were me
I’ve never felt so wide awake
I seemed to be wearing tights entwined with your legs and a big sash over my
           crotch
and a jewel in my left ear for luck
(to help me balance) and you were pulling me toward the floor reaching for stars
it seemed to me that I was warm at last
and palpable not just a skein of lust dipped in the grand appreciation of yours
where are you Fanny Elssler come back!
