Diabla Amarilla

what is
this thing

close up
very shapely

but taken in
from a distance

sheer terror contorts
my face like Munch's

Scream and i do
scream now seeing

understanding contrast
of color her skin darkening

knowing now the meaning
of the bikini as she faces me

from afar i see her top as if
horns and her bottom a smile

thinking Lovecraft could not
even imagine the demon before me

Wow awesomeness yet it seems to others bent and sort of cool. Well I guess you can never please everyone. But thank you so much Maureen.
