Flirt

J'adore flirté avec toi.  Te donné un bec, glissé ta main dans la mienne...

Le mot marche aussi bien en francais qu'on anglais...


Flirtation
 
After all, there’s no need

to say anything

at first. An orange, peeled

and quartered, flares

like a tulip on a wedgewood plate

Anything can happen.

Outside the sun

has rolled up her rugs

and night strewn salt

across the sky. My heart

is humming a tune

I haven’t heard in years!

Quiet’s cool flesh—

let’s sniff and eat it.

There are ways

to make of the moment

a topiary

so the pleasure’s in

walking through.

Rita Dove
