City Lust

06/18/07

Like the salt lizard
I haven’t seen red lips
Since an actress saved my life
Minutes before the subway
Blew up.

Downstairs
You are the right word
Biting a spider scar
Not revealed
In daily nude costumes.

My incestuous bride
Wants me to know
That all invisible things
Appear in her dreams
As rainbow flames drinking water
Which cannot live.

R.C. Miller
