Tonight's Poet Corner: Silk Fingers

Silk Fingers
by Belinda Roddie

The top hat wearing communist
stroked a fat lion mane
on a bi-racial bigot's crown,
and she made kissy faces,
kissy, kissy, kissy.

Her rough hands were
white as silk, pressing into him.
She liked how they were both white.
So white. Milk poured into
the hole in the head,
as the self-hating butler
wiped the make-up away
from his dark face.
