Fierce negotiation
      her cool grey eyes
      don't betray a single move

Crisp black suit
      ocean blue silk blouse
      frames an Arctic white face
              tightly bound sunrise hair

Gunfighter
      walks from the table
              pauses
      framed by teak double doors

My eyes travel down
      down
              her lean back

      down

A single petal
      disjointed
              from a spectral white rose
      pops
              from a sea of black nylon

Vapor trail rushes
      down from her slit
      skirt

She looks back
      smiles
              confidence supreme

Unaware of
      the single
              imperfection

              suspended

I align my
      blooming cock
              across the pinstripes
              of my suit

Wait for negotiations
      to resume
