A Beautiful Deformity

A Beautiful Deformity

Willowy, wild and free
I wrap my earth in
a rooty embrace.
With curious fingers sway to the gods.
trace a way to the gods.

Then you came.

Tongue - sweet.
Drop silver words to slip and steal
between silken sheet leaves.

And you snatch me.
With greedy, clutching hands
you pluck me.
My downy fruit flush,
you take
and crush me.
My velvet and gold,
sold for a garland of flimsy words.

And you slice me down.
You bend and
shape me,
strip, saw break me.
Against my grain
again
you
take me.
Pin, polish
make me.
A freak to show.
A beautiful deformity.

Groundless.
My satin smooth back
hosts your desires.
My forever opened legs
carry the weight of your wants.
Hold you dinner parties.
