Don\u2019t say in what suburb live Lea\u00a0or Jill<\/span>
\n or Kristin or Karen, of whom I\u2019ve no news.<\/span>
\n I seek in remembrance their true domicile<\/span>
\n and find each spring a welter of clues.<\/span>
\n So where are Perla, Andrea and Suze,<\/span>
\n nymphs in the bushes whose tendrils and mesh<\/span>
\n first drew me in to go off in twos?<\/span>
\n Beauty is the memory of the flesh.<\/span><\/p>\n

Where\u2019s Joy who taught to diddle and thrill<\/span>
\n and Sara who never was patient of cues?<\/span>
\n Where is Odilia come from Brazil<\/span>
\n and Tish and Patricia, Alicia and more whose<\/span>
\n return to my covers I\u2019d never refuse?<\/span>
\n With such concupiscence did our limbs thresh<\/span>
\n the soreness we suffered was never abuse.<\/span>
\n Beauty is the memory of the flesh.<\/span><\/p>\n

Toward those who ditched me I bear no ill will<\/span>
\n nor want other women in lieu to misuse.<\/span>
\n Lucia capricious, Hazel so volatile,<\/span>
\n Jessica wont to tease and confuse \u2013<\/span>
\n each gave me little between which to choose.<\/span>
\n With each I gladly would take up afresh<\/span>
\n and past defection forget or excuse.<\/span>
\n Beauty is the memory of the flesh.<\/span><\/p>\n

Herewith this spring to a collective Muse<\/span>
\n affection which bears no resemblance to fresh<\/span>
\n blossoms \u2013 their blush time turns to bruise.<\/span>
\n Beauty is the memory of the flesh.<\/span><\/p>\n

to celebrate the arrival of spring, this take-off from Fran\u00e7ois Villon. Names have been changed to protect the innocent.<\/em><\/p>\n
