Similies
your mouth was a beautiful split geode
heart pulsing with a thick, dark timbre, shaped surely like a valentine candy
deep between your ribs, a roll cage for the
really unnecessary violence of all our chemical mess your
lips as wet as a peeled plum
your shoulders soft slopes carrying rivers downward
belly a temple
of quiet self-questioning and misunderstanding of modern art
your pussy full as a vase of lilacs
eyes vast and meaningless, hung high above small poets
like a guillotine.
