Red like Red Light

A prostitute’s lament

By KP SmithPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Red like Red Light

Turn off the

Red light

Or green light more turn offs.

An escort; most certainly...

Unique in spirit.

Let’s hear it for the stripper!

Let’s hear it for the boy!

But tipping for stripping might be stealing our joy.

Turn on

The Switches

To red light this district.

A splash of blood-hue

Will drown you

In a crimson

Lagoon.

Red light: PASSION

Red light: DESIRE

Red light: TEMPTATION

Where Satan resides.

We take in stride what you take in sin.

So begin with the niceties

And end with you in

My inner red circle

While sucking the small ones.

Red light is turned on

For your turn on.

Don’t turn on me,

I can’t abide another bruise.

Red cloak

To choke on

While wolves follow to Grandma’s

The gums of a wolf are blood red-

Bared in bed...

‘My what big teeth you have’

Rip in to my flesh-

Then tell me how I taste.

Sweet.

Forever sweet like

A gushing cherry,

Dying your lips

That are dying for me.

RED.

Like the color of the light

I keep on for you.

Come see me!

Your burning red flame

Your escort, save name.

Your red little dame

Tucked in...

The shadowy corner of your world.
