Another sartorial lovely, ruined. 

Roger never took seriously

*

her love affair with clothing.

Blood stains can be notoriously

*

difficult to remove.

Especially if one isn’t diligent

*

about pre-treating the fabric

or setting the right water temperature.

*

Still, the man was so

precociously cute—and sweet,

*

his Soul of Darkness,

the ultimate turn-on.

*

Valerie forgave his transgressions

time and again.  Nocturnal

*

relationships, she was quick to learn,

are not without their limitations.
