Slave
"How could a bitch-kitten like Toni
hold Val in thrall?"
This Side of Love
Accessory,
name bracelet,
extravagant anklet,
secondary
to the prime
suspect, the captivating
crime.
She keeps me on a leash so tight,
I can't breathe.
Supercilious,
ridiculous, Moanin' Low,
what do you deserve?
Haven't you humiliated
yourself
enough? What does it mean
to be punished?
Scarlet
A tomato is a fruit
dressed in red, a nightshade,
a love apple, but
a woman in a red dress is
the reader's digest condensed book of love,
a lover intoxicated by her listener
wielding the absolute warm gun,
a red pen
deleting.
