I hear the creaking of the stairs,
the pitter-patter of my heart,
her breath that hisses at my door;
nimbly she slinks into the room.
Dancing across the polished wood;

Her fingers glide across the desk
and gather curtains to her face,
for but a moment there she rests.
Performs a perfect grand jeté
she lands with warm feet on my chest
and licks my tired old bones dry.
