She kneels to the nights
Crack lip,
Like a silhouette that
Pardons the eyes of her
Five fingered feet,
As she sits
So wondrously,
Her arms undo the knot of shots
That spends a lakes mile
Watching her fall past midnight,
Fall past a subdued voice
That echoes off the nectar of trees
That squeezes every line of
Her hair in a different curl,
A different pearls fury through
A raison forest of the nights
Cocktail wind, the beauty of
Kansas under an L.A night’s smog,
The merlot of lips
Alike no other.

Tom-

Cotton is soft and speed is bliss to me, combine the two, and I thought it was a perfect fit for the title of a beautiful woman.
