Ink
She went to live with a skinny tattooist,
growing ever more sexually magnetic
but she denied him her
,
anus and mouth,
forcing him to masturbate while she danced for him.
O how she danced!
The dragons upon her skin
were her partners, her pets. Her post-cathartic
vividness glowed red, green and blue,
yet there were still unpainted parts.
She made her pale partner
fill in these spaces with other flying serpents,
which he did, tapping her with a zealot’s fervor.
Abraxas, Orochi, Anataboga, Xiuhcotl, Nidhug, Longwei,
the brimstone killers, the sage guardians -
the detonations of hell and heaven.
He cunningly wove their wings, tails and talons
about her flesh until even her most intimate areas
were also dragon parts.
One by one she fed herself to them, and they
knowing she held their flames between her ribs
danced for her as if leashed to her will.
“Do you see me”? she asked.
“My flesh is an anvil of fire.”
He could not reply.
He saw not a woman but a coruscate gyre,
as if a female energy were escaping on serpent wings.
“Beauty.” He gasped as his ****** took his breath away.
She laughed out loud, threw her arms above her head
stamping her feet, dancing on invisible skulls.
