"Lemonade"
 


Agency sent me to 
the territory of 
Lemonade dreams
where secret rendezvous
were disjointed 
and criminally spent 
shooting the cool breeze
she blew hot and cold 
covertly coquettish 
while they waited for 
absent common sense
to repent in her confessional booth
like diamonds their eyes twinkled 
their smiles stroked
the changing colours of her 
scaled existence, waiting
she smoked their egos 
like she was patting
lackadaisical fur 
she reminded herself
they were all reptilian
lazy nights with the 
Blue Iguana
lounging long legged 
stilettos sharp and lethal
schmoozing sonorously
with shiny wet lipped 
slick talking smooth 
barflies and lizards
talking tangled tongues
they kissed the air 
hissing, this of course,
blithe and thin, 
full of promises 
and sensual missives
taking their lives
with shots of time
tempering caresses
along the tumultuous
tears in the fabric of a frayed life 
short skirting the rim 
swallowing a small esse essay
while they gobbled wild turkey 
straight, 
shooting words like bullets
no ice and bent stories
they would appear as monks
religiously flagellating
regular and on point
tomes of despair 
lacking their one 
shot at a heroine
whose fair addiction
psychoanalysing 
muddled minds
bubbled like lemonade
cool, she was a long tall glass
sucking dreams up 
her sucking straw
seen through her cut green 
glassed shards of mirrors 
they were all transforming
into colourful big beaked
squawking macaws
while she read lines
with her man Coleridge 
and considered everything 
“as if this earth in 
fast thick pants were 
breathing”  
she turned their bent pages
fey and crooked and 
burned the leaves for mystic tea
an aphrodisiac as sacrificial offering
to a plot twist 
dei ex machina
surely all gods would come soon
in time to a party
bare of good men
where the rule 
was no law

"There was a moment, a hole opened in the sky
A chance to join that pantheon
For all the times they never heard your battle cry
Now even angels sing along"
