Nails . Nails, painted crimson sky Silver toe rings Just one on each foot Cross-strapped black heels Four inches high Accentuating already Perfect calves encased in Seamed silk elegance Tempting paths traced Upward, ankles to clasped thighs Caressed by encircling lace And nothing else Frames bare secrets Dares any resistance to Unconditional surrender
A further collection of poems, many from years in the Middle East, but also the California San Francisco and Central Coast areas (Santa Cruz, Carmel, Big Sur, Berkeley, etc.).
Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
