Their need is visceral. Oh!
Pretty blonde girl,
fresh trailer park trash,
junkyard dogs snarl and quarrel over your flesh—
tongues wag to get at your bones.
Twelve years old, and
your marrow is aromatic.
Mother’s a full-time drunk, and you
only got a part-time daddy.
Good luck, babe;
welcome to Contaminated Manor.
Find your place in the Court somehow
without
letting them taste you.

How many times will I say you’re great? Each poem of your is better than the other.
You also chose a picture that makes me want to dress like this, and have a pre-revolutionary French aristocrat try to seduce me, and give me rings and a mansion in Saint-Germaine.
Well, a girl can dream.

I wish I could afford to dress like that! I’m infatuated with the era and its fashion. Mansions are also pretty cool. ❤

So am I! We should have been born at another time and live a life of leisure in mansions and chateaus. We would have to be aristocrats, of course, but who said life is fair?

Look at this you basket of talent. Once more you weave words in your own wonderfully visceral way.
