Virgins Plus Curtains Minus Dots + 

Latin Borghese + 

Houses hold virgins + 

The doorвАЩs on the chain + 

вАЬPlumb streets with heartsвАЭ + 

вАЬBore curtains with eyesвАЭ + 

Virgins + 

without dots + 

Stare + 

beyond probability + 

See the men pass + 

Their hats are not ours + 

We + 

take a walk + 

They are going somewhere + 

And they + 

may look everywhere + 

MenвАЩs eyes + 

look into things + 

Our eyes + 

look out + 

A great deal of ourselves + 

We offer to the mirror + 

Something less to the confessional + 

The rest + 

to Time + 

There is so much + 

Time + 

Everything is full of it + 

Such a long time + 

Virgins may whisper + 

вАЬTransparent nightdresses made all of laceвАЭ + 

Virgins may squeak + 

вАЬMy dear + 

I should faint!вАЭ + 

Wasting our giggles + 

For we have no dots + 

We have been taught + 

Love is a god + 

White + 

with soft wings + 

Nobody shouts + 

Virgins for sale + 

Yet where are our coins + 

For buying a purchaser + 

Love is a god + 

Marriage expensive + 

A secret well kept + 

Makes the noise of the world + 

NatureвАЩs arms spread wide + 

Making room for us + 

Room for all of us + 

Somebody who was never + 

a virgin + 

Has bolted the door + 

Put curtains at our windows + 

See the men pass + 

They + 

are going somewhere + 

Fleshes like weeds + 

Sprout in the light + 

So much flesh in the world + 

Wanders at will + 

Some + 

behind curtains + 

Throbs to the night + 

Bait + 

to the stars + 

Spread it with gold + 

And you carry it home + 

Against your shirt front + 

To + 

a shaded light + 

With the door locked + 

Against virgins who + 

Might + 

scratch + 
