Suzanne Grazyna

Incarnadine

I’m a crimson ninja now, my familiar by my side.
Candy apple claws in Mary Jane heels.
Slick cherry lips. Ruby jewel glossy tips.
Fringe of auburn bangs.
Obsidian eyes lined with gold leaf.
Rakes of fake lashes. (They sweep)
A Ginger-head girl of doom
with bruises so black they shine blue.
A wink of marcasite lures him in. A single talon.
Each succulent kiss a chocolate-covered unicorn,
a serrated horn to pierce. Inject my love
straight through to the maroon heart of you.
