Gargoyle

Later the weather turned to blue
Prelude to the finale

Rolling in heat
She’s entangled in her own hair
Moonlight alludes to mischief 
Obscene gaping laughter
With no sound

A puddle in her elbow crook
Fearless of the sun’s heat
Do dogs shed this much?

I drink too much and vomit
Obscenities all over her
Daggers that simply melt 
into loud silence

Ugliest crier
Go get the flowers yourself!

Naked dipped in Moonlight
The rogue slash of her mouth
Gapes open obscenely in a laugh
My gargoyle

She gets me up too early
Coffee is my caretaker
Do dogs shed this much?

Beauty inspires spite

In the end, I am given away
By her red kisses on my wrist
Men never have this problem

Abruptly, I vanish in what I imagine
Is a shroud of mystery.
Call Sherlock.

I think she moved to Czechoslovakia
Or is it now the Czech Republic?
