Listen to poem:
A Vixen's Lair
A Vixen's Lair
Her front room was a simple setting with
no arts of distractions but a purposed
barren white wall in a circular room.
Two simple chairs that sat opposite of
each other with a centered round table
and tea set-up with a plate of baked goods.
Three doors, the main front, the kitchen, and the
restroom, an arched curtained draped hallway that
passes a study hall and massage room.
A round Chinese designed doubled-door led
into her very own private bedroom,
and upon entry is her vanity.
There laid her jewel box of convictions,
From her silver and white Pearls of poisons,
To her diamonds of destructive deceit.
Her letter opener was a unique
Ruby handle and silvery snake-like
Razor double-edged, felt-covered carved case.
Her specially made shampoo and lotion
Echoes through the night and concocted in
The morning sun with chosen rare fresh herbs.
A fur-covered round bed draped with silk sheets
Surrounded by tall Chinese vases stuffed
with protruding pink feathered plumages.
Tall lamps, porcelain, compressed together
With gas controls having two settings of
High and very high, configured torches.
--a knock at the door...
--...tour of adults that are camera-ready having left their kids
with tour guide at the ice cream stand out in front.
