This Pretty Lair
published at mannequinenvy.com in 2005
Amaretto eyes strung along
by ivory,
all drawn to the lone head deity.
Did you ever have a sweetheart
to bury?
To find you we crept passed
mothers
and braved ancient cables.
Passed broken boards and saw dust,
the small dancers
stole your view.
The Fox echoing Tchaikovsky,
but not a soul to be seen
as we trespassed through
this pretty lair.
