Natures Law

Slumped in the singles bar,
my favourite hyde of anonymity,
I surveyed the marble serenghetti,
the herd of hearts grazing before me.
Humming birds flitting from frying pan to fire,
bewildered wilderbeast, drowning in cocktailed waterholes,
and versace clad vultures, preening and posturing,
twenty two carat talons, perched high on chrome pedestals,
looking for prey.


Intrigue,
one lone predator breaks,
wheels around the room, eyes bourbon bright,
prey spotted,
injured from neglect, bleeding from lost love,
dying for affection.
In a flurry of gold cards and silk, the strike,
predator and prey gone,
half an hour later, a flapping of cell phones,
the rest, licentiously picking over the bones of machismo.

Olias.

This depiction was so great I could smell the smoke and spilled drinks... and see the slump of shoulders going home alone to scrub off the artificial sparkle... great job!
