Queen of Goodbye

She is the vision that few men behold in a lifetime.
her business card is a farewell note.
it begins with: Dear _______ (fill in your name)

She is Eve, Jezebel, Cleopatra.
Salome�, who would take a man�s head for a doorstop.
an angel in tattered, soiled silk,
devil-girl, with neon eyes and flaming lips�

when you saw her, your eyes became wide,
you wanted to speak, but your throat was frozen.
so she said it for you:
*** �I know I�m beautiful. �***
She�s not conceited, she�s simply aware.

She once asked you �What do you do for fun?
the concept was unfamiliar. � I don�t know�..I write poetry.
She said that�s fun?
and then she showed you fun�Fun�sweaty,
pulsating, and thoroughly draining.

as she brushes her hair, she says �That�ll be a hundred, baby.
you admit: �I�m broke, but can I do something for you?
She turns, and spits out �Write me a poem!
(you don�t think she�s serious.)

and she goes on her merry way,
wearing mangled hearts and crystalized tears
as trinkets on her charm bracelet.
