MISS VENUS IN FURS 

“the picture of the lady
swathed in furs. At the
very least this picture
would be removed by
no one”—Franz Kafka
THE METAMORPHOSIS
_____________

My company was charming—
opposite me by the massive
Renaissance fireplace she sat

A casual lady of the world—
a chic Mademoiselle Cleopatra
Miss Venus in Furs herself
______________

Despite her dead stony eyes—
she purred like a cat wrapped
up head to toes in a huge Fur

A chill ran thru my Bone—
I simply couldn’t understand 
how her Whip turned me on
