Mona Lisa

Mona Lisa

she felt his eyes on her
she knew she had blushed
it's the champagne she said and smiled
sharp teeth under a Mona Lisa smile

he was there, like a wolf at the door
she felt his presence
like blood on her tongue
like a demon in her womb

she knew what he was thinking
he always knew what she wanted
turn to stone the prissy cocktail crowd
take her there on the table
shameless
broken crockery and laughter

he awoke the animal in her
his words burnt her flesh

he had walked in from the night
matched her blow for blow
flame to her flame
her equal, her accomplice

she smiled at her husband
but it was her lover's hands she felt around her waist
how was your day darling?
she saw herself kneeling to taste her lover's seed
Mona Lisa...

and she smiled when he entered her empty bed
she smiled until he made her scream...
