AIN’T NO DISAPPEARING TATTOO INK

In the small of her back,
Between scant jeans
That grip her halfway down her hips…
And a shirt too short…
Is a fleshy band
Of bodice bare
For tattooed art,
Like Chrysler wings.
And the girls are as slim as they can be
And weigh no more than a feather.
But young and slim will soon be gone,
While the tattoo stays forever.
