Untitled 30

Body like an old house

Rickety frame from where

The termites have made their homes

Warped wood and rusty nails

Bones like beams

Skin like plaster

Hips sway like lace curtains

Moved by the breeze

Overlaying dusty glass

Your tongue like flames

Flick it out

Set this foundation ablaze
