Sensory oblivion
Her unchallenged domain
Not for the faint of heart
The apathetic majority
Clinging doggedly to sanity
Chest thrust out
In nipple pointing pout
Devil’s delight
Dancing in the liquid black
Of her eyes,
Diamond mind
Cutting the glass
Of the mentally confined
No obstacle too daunting
The higher, the better
For pole vaulting
Untamed, unrestrained
Carefree and profane
All this and much much more
Burnt,
Sometimes charred
But the core
Always
Remains unscarred
Guiltless
Shameless
Forever Sienna.
