From fuggy to frozen in 20 minutes,
Hot dream scorched blood,
thins to winter ice.
Then the powders and the creams
Smoothed and preened.
Preparation for full beam.
Tipping on heels
into a cab like King's Cross's First Queen.
Black legs gazelle strut and swish in grey wool.
Arms akimbo all 6 foot, stripiness and eyes on fire.
Resigning reality for reddening love-dells.
