A CHEST IS A STAB SITE

leslie patron




A chest is a stab site.  Healed
Scab. A tactile attic in a lice
castle. A titty slab.

Bisect a chest:

base          base
hilt            hilt
slat           slat
ab             ab
teat           teat

 

Chastity is a blast. A tale: I lay,
I lie. A blest bet that itches.

A chaste slit is laciest. A stab
Site.

 

It is chesty. Its lash it bats
Easily. A hittable beast.

At last its scaly belt.

At last its bitty stab
site.

 

Slit sea. A letch:

They let me stab it.

I let bitches tattle.
