Why fight it, when you can just curl up inside my soft, black heart?
Shapes of ladders, rope, moving under red lights, dancing constellations. Your demure hands, flushed cheeks, burn my skin clean off.
“Everywhere I go, I see things as modern art.”
The proof is in the pudding, captured second-hand smile, my turned head, dark hair, a blot on your morality.
“Please, I much prefer tart or strumpet.”
Your crazed confessions, libido logic. I’m only a nighttime librarian now-a-days, anyway.
Let it sit back and simmer. Then, burn it clean off.

Melusina After Tea
False memories make a mockery of the citadel
Dreams vibrating through bone like breath
When the air is still, absent
My husband –
I lay back in my bath
Selene split in half and lidded constellations
I dissolve and shall not remember
The ravens return on Saturdays
Flocking round my vanity
Stealing my long hair for their nests
High in trees bereft of name
