PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

You held your place
in the centerfold of a magazine.
The page you left your
fingerprints on
had a vivid image
of a lady in a cloak;
her hands sunken
into its black pockets;
her eyes troubled
and focused.

The sound of the paper
ripping from its center--

and the smell of burning
under my nose,
I lit that bitch on fire.

Focus on that.
