To Erica (an anagram)
JustineCH

The black straps down to your décolleté
 1
feel sure, like my piano’s narrow notes.
 2
If I left them to stroke your ivory skin
 3
would you take charge and instead seduce me?
 4
I’d let you stir my thoughts and coax
 5
a gentle absinthe cloud and drink me in.
 6
And from the corner of my copper eyes,
 7
between honeyed words falling from your mouth,
 8
I’ll watch the ink and pitch of what you’re wearing,
 9
ride up on each unbitten eggshell thigh,
 10
and challenge "play me ‘til I flow and douse
 11
a blaze to an ashen bed”, and staring
 12
on my back I’d reach up to you, undressed,
 13
and may taste wormwood,
 14
rising off your breast.
