Plaid Kitten
by Kristin Garth
A kitten written wanton, bad but smiles
so meek in skirts of plaid. Charcoal, crimson
intersects a schoolgirl demeanor, wiles
with kinky sex. Blue black outlined yellow sun,
shy smiles inside the darkness done. In cream
criss-cross on mottled sage, she pouts, a pig-
tailed Betty Page. Turquoise gingham, daydream
pristine, a freckled cheek, deceitful gig
obscene. A tartan twirl to thrill in twill,
stiletto crawl towards the tallest stack
of bills — a dollhouse, alone, tattersall,
flared skirt so small, your heart attacked
is bitten, smitten; across a lap, she purrs
a ruby clawed outlaw, pervert demure.
