Mother’s voice
G-flat in the key of fear major hums:
“They are incapable of a love this deep”
can you hear it ring truth?
**
P o p
idolized and fiendin’
for her next big hit
the bell a vivid reminder of what happens
when the hit hit back
**
Who a vivid reminder of
When what happened where
and
With whom
**
Bell disobedient to the body’s language!
Does not recognize a crooked smirk from
a clenched fist
**
A hand grazing my butt
**
Or predator crouched in the underbrush
**
A paycheck that will not cum
**
Upon waking from someone else’s dream
**
Relieved
Another woman’s husband sighs
with her heart in his hands and his
Boot on my neck
**
And squeeze
**
The bell teaches the guillotine
when to swing
But Who should we hold responsible
for the song the sirens sing?
