Concrete Concubine
I am a kept woman,
concubine to the King of Concrete.
Do I amuse?
Draw you in?
Closer now, come in, come in.
I am a collector of men.
See how the land you pick through lies,
I have been told that I surprise...
I have been told
in flashed winks
and smiles of anticipation
in rooms where I am merely decoration
that I unsettle.
Do you dare?
Beware,
I handmaiden of high-rise
dwell in air and there lies
a paradise
many flatly strain to reach.
