Lust's Labor's Licked
or
Willy in the Rear Room of the Boar's Head Tavern behind Closed Doors
*
His mistress' eyes of onyx black blank laze,
her lips brick liquorice of venom wet,
her mouth a furnace pitch and grease emblaze,
her throat an ink soot void salts up in sweat;
ere ebon sweeps and prospects tours his tongue,
flicks scarfing Aquitaines of Carménère,
Barolos rich of Tuscanies far-flung,
Riojas bloodstained stored in liquid air;
till rounding oil lagoons in wildwoods thick,
it dives to slate cenote depths earth gold,
and homeward gears on growing hearthstone sick,
to reaches crow inside a wanton cold;
the Devil metal draped enthroned her skin --
full banned from court the licit marriage gin.
