melodies melt through the creamy walls
the night hot
the asphalt angry almost boiling
the sizzle of her heel
i can hear it
she comes near
the steps bend soft like wax
up she floats
i can almost see her
dressed in spicy orange
moist with musks
muffled stomps rushed then slowed
he stops
i can’t hear the locks
but i know he’s turning them
like a perky breast
almost rolling the knob
on the tips of his fingers
that smell like Cuban cigar
Hollywood is burning tonight
we sweat wilt run into our mattress
it doesn’t matter
the chords are taught
the hydras groan at him
from her fake jeweled throat
he has to convince a beautiful beast
that if she stays for a few hours
he can be more of a man
than he is now
bottles cheap dusty and old
like his hands
her purse sags from cheap makeup
and the volume of her in between tears
Hollywood has burned before and yet it rises
nothing novel in any of our eyes
now a cricket here
a dog bark farther
a few clicks on my type writer
the sun is coming up
i too swig from my dusty vials
