		Pisces
				
	  	My angel, a rose
		drifts past hungry stares
		turned on,
		oversized head phones
		pound a tidal wave of sound
		down her spine
		like a long stem, she
		soothes Fifth Avenue filth
		like a lost leaf in late Autumn,
		perfect walk
		perfect legs,
		perfect unison of perfect arms
		bobbing like lifting wings
		with each step.
				
		My angel, a rose
		is naked, a Venus
		under bedroom stars
		drinks too much 
		merlot, I taste
		her revenge at kissable
		stares, we wrestle
		our lips for hours
		sleeping
		in each others' dream,
		I resurrect
		in dead moon light,
		mesmerized by 
		the Pisces
		black
		on her middle back.
