you are pretty
I grant you
and men are
drawn toward you
but I have to
tell you we have
decided (the poets
among us) to
withdraw your
goddess status
and henceforth all
artists of the word
are duly commanded
to look on
you with
ordinary
eyes
and as for the fire
your eyes and
perhaps rest
of your body
even with global
warming, polar
floes melting
there is
still
enough ice
