                        Gown of blood

Lazily dressing the woman;

            Smearing red water, always.

The legs she shot are rusted.

                        Death flooded her aching skin,

Chains sagged above her raw, white, knife ripped breasts.

            She rose from behind a picture of heaving beauty,

                        Of boys and girls

                                    Together in eternity,

            Soaring away to skies of whispered tongues

As she leaves, but cries for drunken madness.
