hey libertine.


i could think it insulting,
the coquettish feather rustling
is elementary at best.

there is little charm
in subtlety,
you gotta carry it
in your hips
unstuff your pockets
offer your teeth
to the first stretched
out blank canvas
of a neck 'cause 
you wanna make her
question her faith.
