1.
I fold myself into you, like a fan - paper covered with butterflies
fluttering against the sweat-coated necks of black-haired ladies,
ruffles caught between fingers that crawl like bugs up my thighs.
2.
They say the neck of a woman is like the handle of a violin,
long and un-pluckable. It is her waist that sings
beneath your fingers, her breasts that fit into the spaces
between your thighs.
3.
At night, your string black chords into rotting wood;
the bow sings across shadows, fluttering like butterflies
folding and unfolding their blue wings, like a fan
serenading the sweaty necks of black-haired ladies.
Palms caress palms; notes linger over purple chairs,
as the ladies hover, stoccato, around the table,
their handles still unpluckable.
4.
But oh, what music in that little piece of skin:
Would it be soft and melodic, or more dissonant, like the work of Shoenberg?
5.
You flex your fingers.
