Odessa
…cigar
smoke lusts across the square from
the teenage millionaire across
his blond stilettoed girl across
the aged General intent
upon his daily walk medals
blazoned on his chest a
clipped proud military gait his
eyes appraise the scene he
leaves unspoken in the smoke ‘Look
what I did for my country’ the
young man calls up caviar commands
his guarded limo wait gives
his glittering squeeze a squeeze - texts
aimlessly Liz
