Sonnet for Jinkx Monsoon

after Shakespeare’s “Sonnet 20”

You have a woman’s face with Kryolan’s own

hand painted: Beat that mug, girl. Contour cheekbone,

exact desires with rouge (the blending! so

fierce up in here!), remove the difficulties

of jaw & 5 o’clock. I bet you fuck in

pentameter, pink-corseted confusion,

your lip synch doubling brightly among others’:

Open wide! Does this mean that I’m a tranny

chaser? All T, all shade! you are as sexy

as Bettie, Marilyn, but I cannot say

I ever wonder you as lady-naked:

I know what you’ve got going on under there.

In simile, your image is both like

& as an overturned, blue-sequined sky.
