Flushed

You... are a silver sleigh,
An inverse Oklahoma,
A left lateral decubitus
Odalisque.

Lofty, atop the ivory daïs,
I see a truncated queen
Aside the white elephant king.

Whenever I get a glint from your sinuous dress,
I see my swirling self through mercury eyes;
Whenever the flint of my fingers your skin caress,
The cold steel strike ignites my insides.

A slight squeeze and a twist
Performs an Olympic opening ceremony
Of watersport waltzes, crashing waves…

Sometimes I gaze
At other quicksilver tear drops,
But blazing inside my mind, I always see
You... my beloved toilet handle.
