Jan Dean # 28 David Bowie's Thighs

David Bowie’s Thighs

So long, so lean

so fresh and so lean, lean

anonymous says.

I want to join in the dream

of clean and preen, so it seems.

Taken out of context, a Facebook

homage to David Bowie’s thighs

could easily reflect cloth tied

as a napkin for a child, a tea-towel

or a scrap of leftover cloth

for a POW, refugee, St Sebastian

or Christ at Golgotha. Without

his wondrous face, mismatched eyes

voice of voices, and opulent moves

who’d know?
