Dushka

There was a woman I knew a long time ago,
I still can’t remember her name.
She maintained a slightly blurry focus, 
Left of center, out of frame.
But I do recall she was a vixen in bed,
So, I’ll just called her, Dushka.
She had porcelain fingers; her tips were acrylic.
I repaired her transmission. She taught me Cyrillic.
I hovered above her most urgent desire.
She needed a fix. I became her supplier.
But her addictive passion slowly slackened with time.
She went looking after greener pastures than mine

Not sure whether I'm supposed to comment here or in the "space reserved for ?????" I don't have any questions. Pretty darn good writing, as far as I'm concerned. Interesting lady, to be sure.
