Skin
By Paul Cameron Brown
Her emerald top
phosphorescent candy glow
stick candy,
sno' cane -
floss like
the mane revealed beneath,
spun hair matted/woven into
icicle lengths & pubis mink.
Her presence as a monk sliding
under a cowl, jet-black velvet
or midnight eye-liner shadow
knotting strands of dark.
She comes on waves -
candelabra is a name
deft movement of finger
caressing storm, bare legs
shining wet street lamps
decantered ambered wine.
Cigarette floating between lips,
uncharted voyage of the smile
where puffs of smoke
are parrots' wings,
incandescent show-girls
in novelty across the flame.
