The light footstep of decadence
Treading along swarming toils
With a satin slipper
Trails in the dust
A shimmering spell
Hair in disarray
Exuberantly shaking off
The cloth from her shoulder
She inspires the luxury of negligence
And exhumes the flawed, drunken superego
One with the illusion
As long as it lasts
Her ermine-lined coat
Carelessly thrown by the foot of the bed
You'll soon discover her absence
From the entangled circumstances
You've both wrought
The contamination a cage
The abrupt fall public
A circus animal, wielding a whip of straw
Yellow as gold

Love the first stanza... Beautifully written and full of wonder. The whole piece is striking. Yet again I am left to ponder on the meaning of your work. But that is what I love about it... :)
