Marble Likeness

Think of me in the moments before sleep
The only real time that reflects desire
Let me float in your mind as a photograph
Naked, arms folded, head back in laughter
Caught in a memory, smiling at you

It dosn't matter what color my eyes are
The carelessness of reverence

As the nights pass transform me
Blurred edges that sharpen with time
Only to become misshapen and narrow
Crooked teeth are white pillars
Breasts are overflowing, pink and full

See me in front of you, in daytime
Somehow I am so far from faultless

The world has faded my image in your mind
Touching yourself in memory of a stranger
Sexual fantasy of someone flawless, and I
Standing in front of you, naked and ready
Can't help wondering who I have become
