  Even our names sound delicious:
  Pandora, Delilah, Bathsheba, Lola, Gilda

  They speak of us in the language of pastries—
  cream puff, tart, cupcake

  They drool over us, put their hands in our bodies
  Oh honey, Oh sugar
  as if plunging into layers of white meringue

  We dissolve behind veils and trench coats
  our faces soon dimming
  the whiskey of their tongues already forgotten

  Around us the scent of orchids and tobacco flowers
  bruised and senescent
  blooms into the night air, thick with gunfire
