Soft Clock Foray #1

He serves her armadillo heart
      to four knaves under glass,
      and tones her angst with creams of slight.

He pours himself a generous sea
     from under her Ouroborean eyes,
     to slate his endless urn of thirst,
     and milks her breasts for sweet blue       
     syrups.
   
He rides the pulse of her loudly sleep
     to meld a silent crash
     that oozes verse from myriad wells
     which seal themselves with stones of light,
     and brilliant are his tongues for her.

She knows this all and yields to him
       circles of small vanities.
