Million Dollar Whore - Noelle Levy

Million Dollar Whore.

Many Russian brides
(who got out before the bubble burst)
go with the international
super ice cube caress
up to crusted minimums.

There’s also widow pieces
rumoured to have
coromandel clients
searching the globe for
customers who collect
Christian sums,
talking about how easy it would be.

One such hand delivery,
Kelly,
agrees variously
the world don’t want a woman’s breaking.

When you know that,
courtesans become
nightly weapons.

Then there’s
the model superstar collector,
consumer of Her,
myself,
and mine.

I’m not going to tell you
Hell adores
the most beautiful padlocks.

Some people think poverty
is the opposite of vulgarity,
but she just wants
the most glorious
tiddlywinks set.

Wealth is an ethos
women have taken from the ass.
These women, though discreet,
can easily, for a pair of customers,
buy survival
valued at $1.5 million
for her first shy clamoring -
staggeringly heavy
white and pink
for a month.

Lousy lousy jewelry
is not enough.
