Ad~Diction

she thinks I am not listening,

her breath upon my neck,

so she pitches me 'zines:

ALLURE, allure me?

 

she lures me to beaches:

soft amber sand

settles in valleys

between toes and heels;

tanned images dance;

a lounging goddess shimmers ~

ebony strands weave lace,

pattern after pattern,

into a creamy satin gown;

sapphire laps flames

from her eyes to mine,

mesmerized.

 

the caption reads:

*only the finest *** comes from Puerto Rico*.
