descending from on high
splendid in long gowns
singing hosannas
Madonnas are blond
and holy

for the evening
I exile the fish
to the lightless deep
it outrages them
hurts their feelings

do not worry about Priscilla
come climb into my bed
you devil of a prince

and do not mention
in the same breath
taboo and the way
she opens
at your touch
sleek curves, exquisite lines
that turbo-charged Mercedes
