What Does Salome See When She Awakens?A Poem by NoneOfYourBusiness akaKITTY KUTABAREakaCandyPoleOnyx pupils contract Sunlight drips into celadon vessels A venetian red curtain drawn Sangria ringlets of silk cascade in a caress Ivory shoulders tremble Press blossoms into the pillow Awakening protracted Wine staggers slender veins Lids stained ocher tremble Veils in colorful stains Vulgar silk Cloying hips Arise my devotee Whispers unshutter the sweet, intoxicated daze Salome turns into the dawn Wide eyed stupor crushed What do you see my devotee His hair in jet waves across silver Stunned smile in half bow Cerise dew pearl cambering his strong jaw Salome hiss in my bed, you dare! Salome twists Snake arms whisper the distance Palms to cheeks of John the Baptist Memory like stone ripples on dead, mercurial waters Rush fingertips of warmth with chill What does Salome see when she awakens? Words echo from dismal lips of Christ Her bedchamber bathed in artifacts She cradles the ornament to her breasts Screaming I see god! © 2010 NoneOfYourBusiness akaKITTY KUTABAREakaCandyPoleFeatured Review
