Backwards

in the realms of marine stardust there still flicker deviant desires, fanned flames that nothing can prevent, lustrous ignitions devoid of hesitations; bartering for the souls and shoes of footloose heroines, laddered of stocking and careless of moral fibre; ah, they were and shall always remain teenage handmaidens who never addressed nor paid faintest attention to my secret sexual schemata. Mermaids on salt streaked rocks, seaweed strewn sands, beached with slapping tails and ringlet-framed smiles; sipping cherry coke on the psychic coastlines of my derelict and vandalised sea front promenades.
