... (XXV)

.

A single black heel

Bangs against the rails of a nearby fire escape

And a single pale heel

Chimes its nonchalance - 

Swaying in echoed exultation -

Upon divesting a crown from its sole.

.

Cigarette smoke climbs over a clouded Eden - 

A garden of laid brick, 

Stacked and stalwart, 

Beneath a breeze

And crescent-moon, 

Midnight imbued wind.

.

In the cool drift above the final storey -

From the rooftop apotheosis 

And atop the city's summit -

Satin clings to the bared skin 

Of a self-same cold shoulder

And emancipation drops her half finished cigarette 

.

To go barreling after its shoe.

.
