I Don’t Know Your Name (2023)

Heels clomp decisive,
echo in liquid air. Dominant
vanilla essence cloaks eminence,
brushes past flared nostrils.
Brown eyes, blue schemes highlight,
mask in miniature black frames
that aim, penetrate, defeat
the sloven ape shapes slouching.

Cast a gaze over this loathsome beast
in your amber warmth. Let
fire-breathing, stinging words erupt.
Release the taut painted lips;
unhinge a maw that craw,
to swallow my dark love. Or,
release glass-bending flames,
incinerate me to the ground.
I’ll be pooled ashes lingering
beneath, daring red stiletto heels
walk over me, again and again.
