LET ME UNLOOSE, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Let me unloose the satin shoe
Last Line: Take me and hold me so.
Subject(s): Love Affairs; Shoes; Boots; Sneakers; Shoemakers


Let me unloose the satin shoe,
Release the shapely heel;
What's neatly done I shall undo,
As at your feet I kneel.

And let me exile all the rest
That prisons from my sight
On either hand a little breast
Sensitive to delight.

Now I have put it all away --
The last so fragile thread
Of your irrelevant array,
Releasing you instead.

For so we come, and so we love,
And so at last we go;
Then, for this so brief hour above,
Take me and hold me so.
