Canoodling

He always packed a punch
in English leather - neat as an overnight
lightweight - stratagems of subterfuge
tucked side by side in thigh-tight spaces
an opaque diary of opportunity
contingency plans woven in white linen
whip thin stripes on sharp pressed shirts
razor and cufflinks - uninitialled - anonymous
cologne of-course, a kind of midnight poison
stoppered for nostalgia when the canoodling stops
