A Poem by Alpris

I yawn.


This man


wastes 


the


stage


swears, spits


and


sprays away


the willing


flies
on
the
walls


boo! get off the stage!


and on she comes
overlaps 
him
he leaves
and she
heaves
a hearty
introduction.
far out...
I sip
but instead of wine
-grapes tangled

in
vines
of
ethanol-
I taste
carefully 
churned
caramel
cream

of the crop, she is
no doubt
no doubt in my mind, man
she's dancing them
melodic feet
across woodbound floors
and breaking them necks


of the unaware 
audience folk
they will never know, aye
that woman
is a flower in perfected play
she closes her
blood-tipped
curtains at night
and by dew time
they open


for show business

she dances


her melodic feet


across woodbound floors



I want a lot for ten bucks

more than I bargained for


she moves, aye...


she moves me
