Fatal curves
colored in copper
and dusted with
ageless freckles

Mahogany hair
this as forest,
married by
oceanic waves

Tiger-eyed innocent
armed with daggers;
Medusa's glare
now included

Broken jaw rhetoric
from a crooked smile
with lips coated in
cherry bomb explosives

A summer dress
simply yellow,
ringing beauty like
a Southern belle

Perfumed in
cherry blossoms
and passing
like a season

I am left
lightning
stricken
