White/ blank/ legs wide open/ barely empty, near,

Fresh flowers in a front room work,
For him,

First look inside, coming in/from work.
It sets the tone,

It sits him down for/
Real work.

Near a bright lamp, black beer,
White/ blank/ legs wide open/ barely empty, near,

Pad.

Where a sharp pen pokes me open

& the joke’s on

.

My guts, words un unspoken

Will spill

Unencrypted
