White Russians

Au Lecteur (thanks Baudelaire)
thanks to chance (not the gardener, but the phenomenon) i have encountered several russian, byelrussian, and polish women over the last few months.  this is for them.

dark eyes
bright eyes
smiles too which disarm
would they would as well disrobe
my russian is too shy to ask
perhaps i should speak to them in english

it is of interest to my readers
that the older i am the more interesting
to younger women
if you are young
(for now, that means over thirty and under fifty,
although both borders are acceptable)

i am not seeking love
but will accept it
if the wind is right
and the sea is calm

dark eyes
and accents that make my german
seem almost perfect
sit with me in the cafe, my reader,
sit and drink them in
