Red Window
Opaque face,
gilt with the art of lust
desire used,
a product to consume
When lips smile,
as the grin swallows
an inch at a time,
the palpable loss
to the soul
From sentient being
to the cut price of flesh
Trick for the wheel,
tolls for the pleasure
Bare to the world
Two sides to the pane
Eyes at your window
Gilt with the art of lust.
