Kidnapping All Trace.

Her incandescent hair
- like winter ivy -
stirs her northward
where your thigh
is gnarled around elements.....
what permanent soul
you razed sacredly,
her genetic equation-
her guilty inheritance
now upon nocturnal
hallows.

[superseding melodies,
ceasing trumpet snares
and laying herself down-
upon the one-sided pulse
of a broken descant.}

She acts as the naked mirror,
concentrating on taking home
medals of pride-
engraved deep
like black and blue
veins,
communing
her source of interest
to your files.

Frictionless skin becomes
flushed, as her body symbolizes
an eroded credenza....
(individuality locked
inside the drawer, while she
noncommittally
polishes the wood
for the seventeenth time).

Carnal hands
and your monstrous stealth are
impaired by Scotch....
You starve time as
her breaths are monitored
and new livings are written
for this condition-
the liquored use of
affection's procedure.

[While she is trapped
inside the functions...
the unremarkable method
of surviving
life's intoxication.]
