BITCHES GEM
(of Lady Macbeth)

When first we met, the crowning jewel
lodged in your diadem,
Shined like a bite of white sky
gnawed off from heaven on high
–It hurt my eyes.

Now there you go in your ratty robe,
Fingering your rhinestone clothes,
The crease of dread
slashed across your forehead
a dent from your diadem.

Now I don’t fret ‘bout what them witches brew,
Since that last dream I had about you.
You said only Lady Macbeth
could compete with your breath’s treachery
–I don’t doubt you.

Because you smoke too much!
And you drink too much!
You flash yer talons
and stomp hooved feet!
Demanding nothing less
than the rawest, choicest meat.

Already well imbued with trust issues,
Now I got proof that you are a spy,
I hope your espionage
can justify my lies.

But your diadem, with it’s bitches gem,
Has become rust encrusted.
It’s grown into your head,
Can’t even take it off
–You were right about Lady Macbeth.

So flare up a menthol vogue, and stub it out,
And get yer ass back into bed.
Come and smother me
with your cutthroat breath.

Because you smoke too much!
And you drink too much!
You flash yer talons
and stomp hoofed feet!
Demanding nothing less
than the hardest, sweetest treat.

Yeah, you smoke too much!
And you drink a lot!
You flash yer talons
you stomp hoofed feet!
Your posture misaligned
with the bloodline of Furies.

Now that bitches gem
in your diadem,
Looks like it’s been kicked across the floor,
But you don’t try to shine it up,
You want more . . .
You want more . . .
You want . . .
