Tattoo
Things one
could
never utter,
exclamation marks
stuck in
her eyebrows,
anonymous guillemets of
mute absentees,
infinite elliptical wish lists of the forbidden,
etched in blue on her torso.
An unforgivable
route promised a nuchal tour
and meandering course into
the faceless
gaze
of
your
imagination.
Yesterday
draped
in oblivion,
she
etched
tomorrow's
expeditions
into
shades of
indelible blue
on her back.
Now, you
are
doomed to
perdition
and
poetry.
