Canvas Power

A strapless shoulder to me, a tattoo artist,
is paradise found for my pigments and my pins.

In the valleys which are epidermis,
we scroll hanging gardens;

dragons, unicorns and bolts of thunder.
Where you like it, we can imprint.

If in an armpit is what you're wanting, first shaving cream
and light of razor, then I'll ink.

I've done tattoos to blow your mind,
on implanted buttocks stretched around the globe.

I've done tattoos to make you blush,
scorpions walking backwards from naval into pubic swamps.

For me, a strapless shoulder is like a treat of wine and roses,
or for that matter ---a bikini coming off!
