reading signals without my glasses

Post by saw »

what is this message
the story deep below
that plunging black neckline,
that diamond encrusted ankh
dangling so sweetly

in the rolling cleavage
somehow now forbidden
by the symbolism
of past centuries, swaying
in the motion of your walk

one might call this
an odd accessory
displayed so cleverly
in the one place
you knew I'd look
the death of empathy is the birth of barbarism

and why not? we are both men of culture and discernment - men of the world - that dirty little world that i call home.
