perfect slalom
through vintage track hiss
these lights gleam bright
like halos
like second sight
and you let the belt slip through
your lacquer
the thin mouth open feeding
the stream
a scream of cooked purity
I can fly as I slip away
so easy how heaven
can ease to hell
bent over with smudged glasses
bad teeth
your spine like a worn range of
mountians
like a sadness in the spring thaw
your lean strength on those arms
you can clamp me off with a thumb
so hard
nickel babe
your all mine
how you hover like a busted angel
in our tinsel light
your dirty hands through my greasy
mane

Dear Esker,
Good title! Language usage is superb. I liked these lines:
I can fly as I slip away
so easy how heaven
can ease to hell
and
how you hover like a busted angel
in our tinsel light
your dirty hands through my greasy
mane
always, Cat
