heavenscent

lady, your intrepid step-
pushed out and lacking
flaws- makes them shudder
so

you draw them from
their devices
to the world of half-light
and prattle, daft words
saddled up to the bar
aglow

your subtle glance
blessing drunk stutters
and the jealous alike

your prim spine luring them
one drink from
delight
before absolving them
of your burdens

your impressive step
leaves them
uncertain
