Slips the Blue Satine

“Slips the Blue Satine” Desire bites a sonnet ripped where the voice projects through glossy cherry bit lips down a telephone line wrapped around long legs speaking soft words welcoming you in like a quilled whip Freedom bites a too serious sonnet smiles then progresses to apply velveteen kisses where the lips tie a loose noose of words like pearls around the sound conduit curbing the mind whispering to soft curves, a roadmap written across body eyelids, flushed naked cheeks neck down to hips where the key turns poetry speaks blood drawn the heart has teeth Gaga’s gone all evolutionary too much of too much she denudes the blue Satine easily divesting all hopelessness of the hounds barking their haranguing hangdog habits superlatives exaggerated hyperbolical expressions of praise blessed again in the wasted chronicles of time her hand’s firmly fixed around the gear stick stilettos accelerate sharp instructions from the driver’s seat switching gears up behind the fortune wheel treasure sits “pull your head back in”, she says “the Lotus Eaters at Loon Junction are on the prowl, they’ll tear you to bits”. "humour me," he says, "let me off my leash". (LadyLabyrinth/2021) “Small Town Witch”/ Sneaker Pimps https://youtu.be/M6zh5rAlZ18 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Velveteen_Rabbit Sonnet 106.
