Mardi Gras
she wore a black cat's mask
the mask, tantalizing on her alabaster skin
her willingness
to play act with the mask
provoked him
more than love had ever done
love had made him a gentle lover
considerate and kind
the mask conjured up near violence in the act
she allowed him to hold her
her lips impossible to kiss
through the mask
tantalized him even more
she was his frustration
soft murmurs came from behind the mask
driving him quite insane
he leaned over
attempted to kiss unkissable lips
she deftly moved her head
arched her chin upward
exposing the softness that was her throat
he acquiesced
bending toward it

Was she the female Lone Ranger..
Did she let you peek
under her mask?
You were probably not interested in who she really was anyway.

Naw, Ice. Her identity was safe with me, and in fact, I really wasn't -- as you so aptly observed -- all that interested in her name, it was her ... that spurred me on.

Thanks, Ice, for being here.
