"Charmed Essence"
by Jeph Johnson
from here
smoke rings fall
but her ravaged assurance
fails to emerge angelic.
charmed eternal,
flypaper flat
knees bleeding
brave scuffs of skin
sweating sinful
scaled contradiction
magnetically repelled
her density screams release
but her eyes remain
stuck like pebbles
in this waffle-stomping
mountaineer's passion;
obsessing with the ground
grave of gravity
splattered charm
fully attained.
confidence
proudly betrayed
