Black Widow Dancer, for Vanalee Jean by Ronald S Porter ©2014

Ah, she had lips as smooth as oil
and posi-traction independent axle hips
snakey eyes with a gleaming sheen
and a black widow tattoo on her ass
but I never worried about the web
she wove or the venom of her bite
man! she was slick and tight!
Well... good sex only goes so far
after the eviction and cheap motels
then all those nights sleeping in the car
we found a room-four dollars a day
after three days she slipped away
I was left with a half-pint of cheap booze
between the heroin and vodka and
possible demon possession
my confession is I was kind of relieved
even though she left me holding
nothing but a bottle full of the blues.
