Her cough like distant machine guns
Crackles in the heat
Too many barters with her body
Not enough nights walking to quit
A stray residual benefit of a party
She gets others to sell her time
Hers hasn't anything to spend
She's too quick to touch
Cutting herself conversationally
Down to the roots
Even with the pain
Thornless and vulnerable

She of the litter
Spared, fierce and bitter
Not having the redux
Cold, handsome and gathered
Rarely offered on platter
Sat beside the desert plum
Holding in hiding
All the brims fitting tidings
Of seasons spoiled shakes
Not one for purchase
And tempered in the mine
Rotten beauty's waist, still felt just fine

Parched simile washing canvases
I spot her tote
Bragging inside of an engagement box
Tossing it out of our building to feed the rain
Peels of dresses won't stick right
Patched ribbons between jean memories better glue the seems

Lecherous sneak,
Amongst the babes,
With your heaving tongue,
Knowing not all have sought,
In the needles prayer,
Finding desperate rot
Deceiver mad,
Itching and coursing inside,
When is the bile hour upon us

Outspoken crimes
Describe prudence
From your tongues
Nothing delivers fees
While I'm fine
Citation for my mind
You produce crucibles
Martyrs wouldn't find
And in this drags, maps never flagged
Yet I'm certain won't breathe
Enough defected
Before jurists I'm predicted
And calloused hearts beating for benefit grieve
Roasting because your able
Eyes lost in fable
When you began
Tossings and leftovers from begat
Liberated remorse
Five part chorus
Just? Just ignored us

With wild signs
A lady works
Haunting a mirrors plan
Destroying resentment
In new days fan
Purchased wine
Supple ending twine
Assured of the breeze
Swaying legs beneath
Her fingers twirl
Gauging her fussy patron
In a cryptic clothes like furnace
Silk and leather bodice
Her massage is done
Halted jaw
Clenching brow
Decidedly she'd won
She doesn't size him up, he does
Attempting to gain purchase in her inner conversation causing distateful banter
I've known of this side of her, yet never approached it, save this poem

She was busy
In this repeat managing position
Him on her strings
While you didn't get the chance
Meeting her attached
Blown back
Coming closer
It's taken her timecards
She's easy on her eyes now
You can land nearby
She made the combo work
Safest face you'd never know

A confessional paints her face
She'd not wakened before sobbing
Hateful scratching in her voice
Her choking prayer muffled by shame
It wasn't to be a day about the garden
Oceanic creature falling above our roof
Bending noises out of her crucifixes frames
Tasking her with direction
The winters first hard breaking upon us now

desecrated hour of night
burned in gold
hatred of nightingales
speaking never more
thorned petal unfelt
fallen goddess in torment
leave our eyes unclean

Dating exes,
From across the tables of fights
Earning smiles
Longing for peace
And making more out of love

Lurking within me
Begin your tyranny
upon this open floor
Vengeful nectar
Thin blooded steams
Lance upon the winds
Ending fears decree
Your veils relieved
Steady crawling tomb
Waltz within your palace
Defeat of star eyed moon

Like a New York phantom
Cheats on his avenue
Visits beneath the lowered chins
Somewhere he ain't there
That place becomes your doomsday
Locked windows and no lights
This place you visit
Those ties trade bows over you too

My mouth overflowing clutter
The stain, your engaged
Dear eyes in abandon
I'm lent as you sail

Ready ridicules jealous prisoner
Her hampered divorcee resigns
Sticky rice recipe silks
Connecting boulevards
Opposing your tragedy

Abusive trademarked pinks
Stolen ferry rides above floating oleanders
Disputed merchant heists, and
Appraisals forlorn smirk pricing

Each mountain, valley, hill and peak
is a scenic landscape quite unique,
be proud of your topography
and personal geography,
people who knock you,
who make you feel ugly, old or fat,
are controlling, mean, and talking crap,
ignore their derision
it's purely your decision
if you ever decide to iron the map

we were utterly surprised
on seeing her face
there wasn't a wrinkle present
on its surface space
yet only six months ago
her dial was looking quite the age
it is possible that a plastic surgeon
had refreshed her crumpled page
the cosmetic enhancements
did work a treat
everything about her visage
was pressed exceptionally neat
now she's a woman
of a most desirable profile
that will make men
spiritedly wink and smile

Morning abate
with hazelnut
spread on
toast that
surmount any
surprise with
lather that
only minutes
elongated tweezers
frequent inside
strand that
abet her
with hazing
particles for
extremes package
soon upon
her face

Impression or suppression
an utmost subconscious decision
or an utmost practiced precision?
to cover her natural moving canvas
so he can see the physical bliss
never mind the festering dangers
that breed within her heart's cancers
until the day her painted face
is defied by time and space
of an old ancestral rival
time when death itself in arrival
comes and leaves none in its wake
evangelism; Cosmetics' new grace
offered at every corner and place
'that you must accept me or be ugly'
if she only knew
beauty fades like hubbly
the self conscious issues would be few.
