Absinthe hardly brings a buzz
broken soul only sensitive to Troy
curtain call marks the apex
drowning heart lost in limelight's glow.
Eternity draws out the improv
fingers clench and stretch, moving haiku
gossamer strands of tears and thought
hanging from limbs and collars.
Iridescence will not hide you from fear.

Jesus, someone get her a tranq
knotted legs won't unwrap
left her balance, toppling, domino--
merely amateur, must have been
notions of fear flooding the interim
oleander for the sweet vistal.
Pristine cloth stabbed you in the back
quaint little thing, make your haj.

Rip out the incest, sickening literati
show us evidence in the aftermath.
Treason sparkles in spotlight's glowing
Unwelcome, she was not waterproof.
Void of strength, spirit, finesse
weakened, washed, then wed with lead
xenolith of metal tainting pink mosaic--
your presence a poison bullet to absorb.
Zebra stripes of tears now stain the area.
