I shit by candlelight tonight

I shit by candlelight tonight; I live
alone. Such singular romance is but
deep laughter for perhaps Earth’s mated souls—
yet those whose too-wide beds lay halfway cold
perhaps take hold of what romance they find.
When nature asked me for a date, I shrugged
and then untied my shoes; took off my shirt;
undid my belt (my striptease nature flirt).
And off my socks and off my jeans, it hugged
my skin exposed: that flame-lit candle kind.
Love often eats by candlelight; unfold
the image: Lonely has the mirror goals.
I voided and romance enjoyed. And but
that so, what more might partnered romance give?
