for Sloan

(Thought I’d post another poem from Wednesday Night Regular before I head off to the club.)

for Sloan

Her eyes caress me
Glancing dangerous places
Making idle promises

Her smile consumes me
Absorbing intellect
Leaving nothing of use

Her song compels me
To the rocky shore
Of her clockwork hips
