VISION
by Emma Kate
Cast your eyes upon him,
where he stands alone
Black leather knee-length boots
With dangerously high heels
Short skirt; soft black fabric
The hem drawing a line halfway down his thighs
A metallic-grey long sleeved shirt
Cut close against his body, a second skin
Stained lips; a deep smoky pink
A cigarette between his fingers
with their glittering nails
Smoke spirals upwards
Indigo eyes defined by sweeps of charcoal grey
And the highlights in his hair glinting golden
All this in one moment
All forgotten in that second
When his eyes meet yours
