Her Metaphysics

by Erik Jensen

She's a state of flux.
Subtle and elusive.
Radiating lamborghini-extravagance
In between sips of bourbon.

A sundress hugs her motions, flows along her form.
I think it's white - could be wrong. ..But
You’d swear she shimmers, smoothes over sound,
Jealously holds color in her own face.

Her bourbon tappers to gray, as she places it down to glance once
At me.
I brace - she might crush me underneath a soft, pillowed dialect.
Instead, she pulls a fat lady’s chuckle, the green tint of my beer bottle
To her, as she flees her boredom – set upon some new destination.
Poor bastards won’t know what hit them.

Eloquent, Clever... one must admit feeling both strangely relieved annnd a little bit sad. Really good.
