Lure

I blushed my heart out in front of the mirror, 
already a feline habit. 
 I'm ready to turn the world upside down, 
 in your eyes, 
 I smile when I am asked to cross
 through men's bodies, 
 falling to the ground out of nowhere, 
 at some point, 
 you started shaking, 
when asked to strip down to the flesh
 to walk through my life. 
 Anyway, I got you: 
 you are geometry applied to the bottom of the street, 
 the one who always extends the same hand, 
 to beg from other people's poems, 
 something to eat!
