Instruction Manual For Loving A Pearl~A Poem by NoneOfYourBusiness akaKITTY KUTABAREakaCandyPoleThrough indigo curtains of velvet in a spice shop down by the Canal you'll find me here reclined in an armchair licking honey from my fingertips my eyes like smoke in the light of oil lamps; some nights I am such a throwback I like my men with an edge in their walk and colorless eyes like holes in their fine skulls I like them preconceived in brutality leaned against speakers in a nightclub tossing back Goldschlager shots ; one night I met a monster and when I licked the corners of his strong mouth he tasted like cinnamon as I crawled his skin with my fingertips tasting his diamondback sweat with my skin drinking him through my pores Inside amber spiced cafes with men who forgot how to dream I smile captured by their fluid souls their hollowed out lives where nothing turned out as they had dreamed I curl against the smoke from their cigarettes my golden hips making symbols through the glaze I capture them with ankle bells and hair like spun gold down the length of my naked spine There was a moment where I met the almost perfect man for me he was beautiful and gold with black eyes like onyx he poured his music down my throat without preamble and pushed his mind against my skull until I drowned hip deep in his own inhuman ardour; I took him through the night back to my Pagoda where he opened me against the dragon tiles by the raised bath and dug his hands deep into my animal flex upward between his teeth until my throat was a blaze of branching scars but he was not the perfect man because he had no volition left after the sound of blood drops hitting the gold veins embedded in Jerusalem stone and the scales and notes unfurled from my back into a lash of tail against his thighs and I fell into the clusters of my spinning spirals turned outward into blood and rage claws and eyes the color of stained glass going down on divine murder a circlet of a human Eucharist pressed against my ruby tongue Remember this; I don't love like you~ © 2010 NoneOfYourBusiness akaKITTY KUTABAREakaCandyPoleFeatured Review
