Ringmaster

How she loves to be
Under the big top
Top hat restraining her curls
Pintucked dress shirt
And tails
A hint of cheek
A dash of daring
Conductor of acts
Titillating and mysterious
How they sparkle
And inspire
The thronged admirers
Come to be thrilled
To leave chilled
And to return
Again and again
Yearning to catch a
Glimpse of decadence
