Eva Destruction At The Frog Poem by Charlotte Peters Rock

Declamation from the poet
trickles on beyond
food which tantalises from the bar

The hungry nose-ring woman plants
her shiny low-lace Docs
beside him on the tiny stage

her lacy legs magnificent
below her lacy body
large and spilling round tattoos

Climbing forward
nose-ring first
waving lacy-gloved fingers
through dreadlock-red

Lips a bloody slash
in corpulence opulent

Falls of flesh rolling firmly
round her frame

which could be
elegant
tall
standing out above the crowd

She takes by force
the centre stage
laughter arching
blackened eyebrows

curling lips
feminine as her body
forceful as her voice

casts a spell of anarchy
to grasp them by the throat
