Students

We are both students
of different forms of beauty
My lady labours
in front of tall mirrors daily
to perfect her artĀ 
And whilst she is the most
severe critic of each
Fresh line or blemish
she might find there
I practice daily
in a temple, without mirrors
To remind me of all
the women I have ever failed
to seduce with poetry ...
