Alchemy Writs

Alchemy Writs
For thee
Nothing but distraction 
From mundanity 
Thinks her tinder lover 
Hair a mess
Azure toothbrush held lamely
In between pale fingers

She: curled up 
In her maidenish bed
Waiting for her boy;
Young lover

And boy he arrives!
Jade eyes fixed firmly on her!
My love, he says
Cash I need for my tailor
Who spins the finest silk 
From China.

She stands tall
Always tall
Think tall, walk tall, dream tall!
Not an easy feat of achievement 
For a five foot nothing;
Exotic!

She opens her tortoise shell purse
Takes out a bundle of fresh bills
Hands them over to her boy;
Young lover
Like sacrificial lambs.
