Verse: untitled

When the night
comes looking for you
with a rose pressed
between his teeth
would you let him in

indiscriminately
casting cool blue
stars around your room
upon your feet
would you let him in

Looking for a place
to crash for a
few days
and something to eat
would you let him in

talking high and mighty
with words rude
and indiscreet
would you let him in

unwapping his body
like some dime-store treat
would you let him in

convinced his ministrations
shame all who walk
your street
would you let him in

his eyes burn like
roman candles
and his lips are
bitter sweet
would you let him in

braying at the nomadic
moon and tearing up
the concrete
would you let him in

removes your resolve
like a dress and
binds you to your seat
would you let him in

never stopping once
until his love
is perfect
and complete
why don't you let
him in.
