Lizard Woman

Lizard Woman

lizard woman skin pulled tight like an artist's canvas
from boredom and the noon day sun
lipstick smeared on worm thin lips kissing each other
cigarettes in a leopard skin bag
reading Readers Digest on the Kennedy clan
and Rasputin's hold on the last Czars'
“be a darling, and put more lotion on my back.”
and the whispers along the beach
about teenage lovers and secret bank accounts
.................from At The Beach
