Chastity most overrated

chastity is held high as the sky
the night but throws a blanket over it
the stars steal out in droves, pirouetting
with glitters the wish to have a brush with love
they chatter all over giving light to men and women
so that they can see the affection glowing in themselves
insects, frogs and toads join in the fare with a frenzy of courting song
homo sapiens quieten down to a tide that sweeps over eliciting
a language that extols love with the calisthenics of tongue
letting chastity run loose like a wolf between four bed posts
