Chinese Burns

3WW...zenith tactic naughty

all that naughty talk of
pungent durian fruity fragrance
a tactic designed to drive her
out of her beigeness
split torn flashing
glints of red and fire

by setting alight her wings
he has reached the zenith
of his ultimate control and power
he knows
the lamb will now lead herself
to the slaughter

  3. This is a powerful piece. With the holidays just past, it makes me think of commercialism. I suspect that wasn't your intent. I find it interesting how poems can have different impacts on different people. Great poem.
