tiger striped aunties

since when beauty
needs accoutrements

they say here
some
take it to the extreme
as witnessed
on au-naturel negril beaches
but am a moderate
in many ways


***

in college, or was it school
memory is blunt as in not sharp
had followed her
this graceful braided gazelle
fluid, poetic, innocent
vibrant
smiling eyes
and an arrhythmic
walk
and her laughter
no
it wasn't a giggle
(giggles i detest
in men more than young women)


***

she was with a
short, overweight aunty
nursing a
perpetually pregnant posture
in a black and yellow
tiger striped shalwar kameez

her aunti-ji
must be a factor
as i ducked into a book shop
