Canapé

She sits on the canapé
Night gown like a royal cape
Doorway like a picture frame

National gallery
Renaissance
Make-believe

Whole scene is in black and white
Wet skin in the dusty light
Black hair falling to her knees

Finally
looks at me
friendly smile
pointy teeth

VAMPIRE
VAMPIRE
VAMPIRE

Boot heels on the marble floor
I'm here, 'cause she told me so
I give her the envelope

Hello there
How are you?
Bonne journée
Namaste

She thanks me for the delivery
I look at the scenery
Red dots on her thighs
And a dead guy next to the blood drenched canapé

C'mon tell me what you're up to
C'mon tell me what you're up to
C'mon tell me what you're up to
C'mon tell me what you're up to

C'mon tell me what you're up to
C'mon tell me what you're up to
C'mon tell me what you're up to
C'mon tell me what you're up to
