In a Dark Corner
Oct 11, 2021
a wet slick-lipped outline in red
waits for the unwary
the single traveler, alone,
always a good mark
flip a quarter until he gets close enough
watch it glint heavy in yellowed light
spin out silk, watch it itch
hitch your dreams to the exotic tonight
the sway of hips and lips
may just hit their mark early
