most men never
understand the power
of a sideways glance,
through lashes,
and the slow turn
line-of-sight never breaking
never blinking. Most men react
quick, wolf whistle,
no subtle taste
of interest across
the skin of her arm,
no moment when watching
widens his eye,
pushes her black edges
back and releases
the sigh that stirs her,
wakes her, makes
the drumming in her stop
for one beat, maybe two.
Mmmmmmmmost men never.

But women know, don’t we? This should be published. Maybe a feminist literary journal, but maybe not. It should be read (slowly) by men too.
