In a Sex Worker's Private Room

Trappings of femininity Cagey breasts, Alexandrian perfume An act of seduction Not stupid in blunt fingernails Painted rose a caressing owl Scratches blood and snatches wallet In crafty hands Love towels roll clod in time my flesh intersects the heat, boot and crawling insects.
