    Poetry

    I would imagine it to be somewhat of a lie 2 red hot pokers encircle
    the shade that bears strange fruit; 3sandaled feet surmounting titties
    of the highest peak 4as I lay you down to Jezebel your soul did speak
    5beguiled again, by my wisdom and shaft only to be brought up as a
    joke 6sapphires evade your eyes; you journey back to ebony towers
    7resplendent fawn slain in the sun because to be queen is to be slave
    to everyone 8and yes, in the sinews of Erta Ale; if I hack away just
    enough I will find the tip 9of thorns that stimulated the clitoris 10fine
    as brass and smooth as shale; the deepest11noirities as far as Gishen
    could see with hips milted away in blended curves 12and back dimples
    cratered to set the finest brand of tea cups on, 13 launched circa forever
    14ago you always knew the sinuous secrets that would belay my mind
    15just enough to persuade me to 16not eat the apple 17dethrone
    Bael 18spare thee Baptist 19so how did they go from that to bitch
