POETRY

 Shadow Noir
by Bev Walton-Porter

How kind of you to visit me
shadow friend of mine
well-versed in mayhem
aficionado of sublime

Among slippery shadows dark
you stealthily invade these walls
spectre of sensual madness
collector of mortal dolls

Your pallid, rushing hands
wreak havoc down my spine
face contorted, yet satisfied
savoring my ruby blood-wine

Now we dance the minuet noir
pale bodies pressed as one
passionate lovers by midnight,
coffin-twisted animals by dawn.

Want a real solution for your aching back?

     Hi! I'm John Rebrovick, president of SouthStar Supply Company. I am here to tell you that Thermoskin® wraps really work. I know. I don't just sell them. Periodically my back acts up. What. A. Pain. Literally. The first thing I do is hobble over to the drawer for my back wrap.

     For a wrap, its especially comfortable because of the patented Trioxon® lining which is soft, yet wicks perspiration away from the skin. The wrap provides mild insulation to the lower back, increasing blood flow and therefore reducing pain and speeding recuperation. Sewn-in elastic straps and flexible metal stays provide support. All you have to do is wrap it around you to a snug fit with the hook & loop fasteners and in minutes you'll be feeling better. Click the "Order Now" link below for a guide to sizing; we've got 'em for you little people in extra small all the way up to the Big Bubba xx-large size. And oh yes, back wrap holds up well in the wash. (That's not my back in the picture, by the way, but could have been when I was young and skinny...)

     Only $54.55 plus shipping from us Bubbas at SouthStar Supply Company!
