April Madness V

Velvet

Half past midnight,

In a mood lit street,

We are sleeping alone,

Red velvet leaking from your heart;

A blanket To keep us warm.

—————————————————————————————————————-

A young man of feathers and gems,

He balances a glass of wine,

Holding flowers cut at the stem,

Resembling his bare spine.

Cruel smile,

Bare feet,

True style,

Deceit.

His gait is that of a horse,

Arms are spindles and muscles.

A figure masked by cloth and camphor fumes,
In all the gloom devours unforeseen louse,
All clocks and time dissolve to winds of plumes.

Poor child alone with mind ever more in tombs,
An umbrella for leg and no school house,
A figure masked by cloth and camphor fumes.

With emeralds and champagne, head turning,

Dizzy and pinning, the people protest.

Worn floor, red velvet curtains burning,

Wind blows plumes, an impassioned tempest
