Radiance

Not all that many hands had touched her,
fewer than her judges would have guessed,
and more, no doubt, than some assumed
(because they thought they knew her, inside out)
but if somehow the total of her skin had been, well,
dusted, not with fragrant powders après-bath but
of the application linked to criminal behavior,
there would be but one set powerf'ly persistent 
as the most intense and prevalent, strange latent evidence of something, someone, quite unique whose
touch had left an imprint on the surface, yes, but
also deeper still, the very cells and fibers of
her being filled with radiance and energy,
new synergy of yin and yang, of total masculinity
infusing all that was her womanhood, creating
something new, explosive, permanent, and good.
