Callipygean
is an ancient word.
Shapely buttocks.
I learned that word
that day
I saw your hips
move like a dream
when you pulled your skirt slow
slow slow
to show the curve
of legend
that can kill or heal
me with a slight
subtle move.
The sacred sacrum,
gluteal cleft
dimple of Venus, port,
dimple of Venus, starboard.
…the shape of your buttocks
transcends
Plato’s best thoughts on form
and tethers a thrill of the Real
that fall through my unreal mind
as neutrinos
through the cosmos.
