Ekstravagantiškas Poem by RIC BASTASA

Ekstravagantiškas

Rating: 5.0


This one is conspicuously dashing
She is elaborate and the way she talks and walks
And holds her breath and then releases it
In air, there is this intricacy of detailing her parts
Something so ornate and florid
Nothing bland, her fingers like tendrils
Carefully clinging to this trellis
Like bars of tracery
Forming the ogee, colorful and showy
She knows how to be strikingly bold
Exhibiting this brilliance of expensive diamonds
Her way of entering this door as she steps into
This room
frequently a complication of
Our limited space

Resplendence is her way of life
Always entangled to wavy lines
And flame-like forms
her gaze her way of taking short
Glimpses at you as though you are a kind of
Neon-like existence on the wall

This audacity
This ostentatious display of woman in every way
She consumes the form
To the utmost, the way she shapes and drops the words
From her rosy pouting mouth
in heavy lipstick red as sticky blood

You look at her and she looks at you with contempt
Because in your own simplicity
you are the true woman
With full breasts that produce the milk
for mankind's babies

While she, this flamboyant slender, graceful body gracing
All the corners of this party
the woman of extreme sophistication
And complexity,
dashing thru her colors and sub-language of her on
mwah
oh la la
She is just your version
this fake semblance

She is gay, she got the looks, but she can never be you, woman.
