Buttocks push; breasts boast through non-existent crowds. A choreographed squall above the whir and clunk of loaded appliances. Hispanic girls acting out in a Laundromat. Hips gesture, hands stab and tussle with unwashed issues. I’m distracted by the overheated hum, can’t read the print of my paperback. Words run naked over yellow pages The girls are angry but not with each other. Skimpy shorts and gang-inks. The porous waft of feral...

Buttocks push; breasts boast through non-existent crowds. A choreographed squall above the whir and clunk of loaded appliances. Hispanic girls acting out in a Laundromat.

The night deepens her charms On the threshold the bells toll Shadows follow her treads Evading hushed moonlight sheen. Yonder bellows the wind Werewolf’s sniff their clans call Clouds play hide and seek Terror the night she in her minks: Merge shape shifter moves in stealth Foot print to feline teen.
