~daddy called her angel~
~she danced around in circles~
~piggy tails bouncing~
~voice singing with the radio~
~I can’t get no~
~satisfaction~
~tripped into a table~
~broke momma’s favorite lamp~
~so momma administered~
~some corporal punishment~
~bottom lip protruding~
~arms folded in front of her~
~big four-year-old eyes full of tears~
~she ran to daddy in the driveway~
~why’s my momma such a bitch~
~he lifted a tear from her cheek~
~hell honey angel~
~I don’t know~
~she hugged his leg~
~can I sit on your harley~
~so she did~
~snuggled into the sissy bar~
~she snuffled a bit~
~favored daddy with a smile~
~thought to herself~
~I ain’t no angel~
~grace on one hand~
~smooth as silk~
~spider milk~
~anger shifting~
~changeling~
~she was possessed of~

~XVIII.  latent latitudes~

~so mystery is dark~
~yet lies pale upon that face~
~both lively & sorrowful~
~she wears ribbons~
~falling from a nest of hair~
~whose branches display dignity~
~a tin twinkle of passion~
~impossible twists of irony~
~aspire to reach the sky~
~where dreams are torn fresh falling~
~colors laughing~
~some terrible breeze~
~a prayer away from those~
~a wing~

~jewels in her tiara~
~spider children~
~dreams astound her~
~she holds it in until~
~breathless~
~she is startled awake~
~no one notices~
~but her day is coming~
~she saw ghosts dancing~
~knows full well what that means &~

~XVII.  just like father~

~she demands fair measure~
~what comes owing as her own~
~holds it out against her~
~is appalled by father’s ignorance~
~the thick skin of his span of years~
~but warmed by the embrace of her man~
~quite fearful at deeper levels~
~a creeping awareness~
~of the need to compare them~
~her pain is a shield~
~she covets her jewels of children~
~grace on one hand~
~smooth as silk~
~spider’s milk~
~anger shifting~
~changeling~

~Quodlibet~
~The Hundred Bites~
~V~

~dark in the motel light~
~vacancy~
~room for prisoners~
~saddle-sore cowboy truckdrivers~
~ravenous to mount~
~tickets to ride~
~amerikana momma~
~rodeo queen~
~hotrods to hell~
~doin’ it with her boots on~
~ridin’ on the mud flap~
~tearin’ up the bed~
~she was a love child~
~then she was old~
~nothin’ in between~

~V.  Blood Trail/Lust~

~two soon lovers born~
~torn from a sheet of night~
~wanderlust~
~a forest adrift~
~shadow~
~wisp of smoke~
~fire dreams ignite their passion~
~heated blood~
~illusion or not~
~when flesh is a flame to touch~
~desire becomes~
~the fuel of innocents~
~& sinners alike so once begun~
~hell is loose until fire~
~devours fire & death~
~is the lesser evil~
~wolves who are born to run~
~a leash of feral fang & eye~
