Leonor

Leonor

by a window 
curtain connection dress drapes floor
nylon stockings end so high expose exhibition
a place a time a face all of it 
Leonor 
begun tribute

faced core snake mask stoned
prominently left leg dainty crushed couch
fingers curl marble
held purposely together
like babes in ether

walk on by masquerade in the abbey
go to sleep with accessible visions of Leonor 
arms behind her back 
unmask elucidate hint bondage score taken by Dora
released Leonor

touch myself black chakra
and come not wastes
kill for you vanquish state dawn red masque seethe moral depravity
