She’s a princess cut,
lustrous,
diamond cunt,
tames the
High Priest,
a thermal conduit.

Flexible, refractive
deeply chromatic,
ultraviolet perfection,
invincible, infrared,
chemically inert,
with the highest
biological compatibility,
the refracted,
the ultimate dessert.

She dangles her carats,
rains diamonds
enough to fill the sea,
her contemporary cut,

superior quality
and clarity,
the pinnacle of purity.

Got both bride and groom
on their knees.
Faithful in their devotion
to her crystalline proportion.
Forever:

a semi-perfect notion.

Does my sexiness upset you?

Does it come as a surprise?

That I dance like I’ve got diamonds

At the meeting of my thighs?
