From within earth’s dripping maw I emerge
Crystalised with youth
The pungent smell of innocence a beckon
To the predators that shadow the cruel dredges of society
In a blackened haze
Arms bruised green from the dendrites of earthen hold
Dress stained but divine
A persephonic hell siren rabid on revenge
Mouth, nail and cheek crusted with grime from below
I am femme unleashed, nauseous from an all-consuming mania
Blue cuffs and chiffon flowing
Cross weeping dirt onto my jutting collarbones
Discarded ragdoll come to life
The bloody heart of man exposed
Come and fight the lace monster.
