Our Mix, Matching Bottom Note

 (Subtitled… the right to change my mind) 

Still:

Your Top notes

  • Chilled cucumber
  • Citrus cocktail
  • Water lotus
  • Drenched green leaves 


Your Heart notes

  • Szechuan pepper
  • Mirabelle plum
  • Lavender
  • White cedarwood 


Your Base notes

  • Sandalwood
  • Guaiac wood
  • Patchouli
  • Musk


Immutable mutable me:


  • (Eve’s Revenge) Top Note: Williams Pear
    • This note provides a fresh, ripe, and juicy opening to the fragrance.
  • (Heartbreak) Middle Note: Sweet Pea
    • This is a soft, floral note that complements the fruit with a garden-fresh scent.
  • (Remembering) Base Note: White Musk
    • This note creates a powdery, clean, and smooth finish that deepens the scent and adds softness. 
  • Plus a vanilla cream to soften the skin (if not me.) 



So what if…

and I’ll entertain it…

It’s actually another “you” 

(who for once) 

Carries the investment

Giving more than you take

An unusual vibration

Ripple effect of a smooth pebble

In the depths of my dark born lake 


The investment, still alluring 

But suddenly 

so clear

These waters part 

And un-break my heart 

For a split-rock second


In this scenario 

You were the he 

Who Rides, but doesn’t Die for me!


These allusions and allegories 

Of an Olde West, 

We continued to cosplay

Where I felt the blood I’d gladly suckle

On this vampiric stage:

Willingly suckled, tongue trickle 

Fickle, razor sharp bite 

From your willing throat 


An anti-colonial bath, boom and bloom


Our skin tone comparative analysis of us

Paralysis, plus:

Old timey stories of yore

Mouths moving in rhythmic lore 

Veins so obvious when pleasure hits… 


And suddenly it’s all clear.

This 

Is … no, was: it 

And I’m aware that we are —were 

(Blasphemously so) 


Like almost nothing else (mortal) l know 


Fucking in 

The matching bottom note. 

Right to the very 

/…


It was worth it.

Press Play and Ride

I have a playlist with your initials  Music for a muse It goes from melancholic, to maudlin,  to nostalgic to laughable  Sometimes in one beat, or less Fast as a hummingbird drinking clear  Sugary nectar  Wings flutter  (Many times, it’s a slow oily candle Burning at more than one end Still somehow frenetic, frantic) Like these words I type  That inevitably end in sentences,  Engine purring: you  Over and over again, a bene-addiction Drawing breath in to savor the savior  last syllable, throttle released…  When I am on you, drug of choice I feel safe, in each gear  No matter the speed.   And while I am not a prayerful woman,  I know how to knee-down (As you knew) On each speckle freckle in gravel,  Stardust maps to villages souls travel Until they get it right.

Constellation I (Orion’s Belt)

Prizes, consolatory ones.   I can name a few The big ones are treasures beyond riches  They are named love, hope, dreams  And in their eyes,  Our humanity reflects back  at us,  —the best gift. No matter the mood:  They are accessible  So You open the chest  You expect Pandora,  We are trained for the worst, after all:  Fight or flight, all a fright     But instead, you get  —festival of the highest order  A loud moonless night  engulfed by the Milky Way   And Earth’s buzzing darkness   At once dangerous with its  Silvery lichen,  Vulnerable, finally, with its Green, soft night moss Nature’s rave  Our Universal dance  All that is known, the biggest expanse  Laid right there,  bare before your feet  Begging for your touch  But instead of plucking off  The smallest piece,  One star  Or even a twinkle Knowing that’s all you’d get An...

Constellation II (Moon in Sagittarius)

 —> Tightened grip on the bow   Head on swivel No capacity for dreamy drivel  Graphic avenger  Novice huntswoman Apples, deer hearts, daggers, and mirrors  Looking for  Any sign:  Tea leaves Fortune cookie  Shooting star:  That she shouldn’t release  The arrow.  Her back: a toned, tuned Maple violin  Also bowed, always arching  Chest out, nipples rigid  The taught space  Between her fingers,  Sweat proof, carnelian resin grip  Ready to strike  But she does not loose  Instead she points down,  turns tail and mane  Making her way for higher ground  Flood gates are opening And hooves aren’t fins
