Skyscrape

There she was,
Hair curly in its crude dread --
Clumped like a raspberry
Upon her fair neck and head.
Fire-engine red it was,
Beyond any singed blonde.
The very blood of the green isle --
Then set afire like a sundial.
There she was in infinite
Suspense, prize on a skewer
Above the grey city,
Above the turbid sewer.
This angel swooped low
And received a skyscrape
From the Empire State --
Salty calm off the cape.
An angel, a cherub
Who ventured low in her mettle,
As a mermaid leaves her blue hub
And clears the seas belly.
Her comic-book red crop
Against the silver shingles of open windows --
Some epic glam
Upon shifting frescoes.
On the chilly nights,
What will accost --
But that perpetrator
Called Jack Frost?
City Slicker
Who Cannot Be Outlawed
Because the Cherub
Would Plummet Thawed.
