uttering
cruel world
cuts me sharp knife
cleaves words, serrated edge
slices, nips, jabs
snickers in the corner --
fun (no) numbing my touch
breach the core,
carve the sorest
spot, plunge deep
I can barely breathe
Venus' Mark
Venus casts a beauty spot
on the Sun tonight,
one even Marilyn
would envy at
the corner of her
mouth.
Venus has style;
she arrives at those provocative sites
as evening approaches
to seduce us,
and we watch --
entranced.
