one wintery summer

i invite her
to dine with me

a casual occasion

where formally
i shall seek intimate
polite conversation

that wants to explore
the intricacy
of her womanhood

after which
i hope she will join me
civilly

somewhere though
i lose touch

and see
she now has plans
to change her name
