"Blonde Bombshell"

I love poetry and I found this beautiful poetry by searching on web and thought to share this with all poetry lovers on steemit.

Love is boring and passé, all that old baggage,
the bloody bric-a-brac, the bad, the gothic,
retrograde, obscurantist hum and drum of it
needs to be swept away.

So, night after night,
we sit in the dark of the Roxy beside grandmothers
with their shanks tied up in the tourniquets
of rolled stockings and open ourselves,
like earth to rain, to the blue fire of the movie screen
where love surrenders suddenly to gangsters
and their cuties.

There in the narrow,
mote-filled finger of light, is a blonde,
so blonde, so blinding, she is a blizzard, a huge
spook, and lights up like the sun the audience
in its galoshes.

She bulges like a deuce coupe.
When we see her we say good-bye to Kansas.

She is everything spare, cool, and clean,
like a gas station on a dark night and the cold
dependable light of rage coming in on schedule like a bus.
