sinking whore

her face now haunts me 

in long dark nights.

it doesn't look like

the pictures anymore.

her face looks 

slooped and 

jagged,

her eyes mean and heavy. 

i see her screaming in

a hallway --- 

i find her lying freezing and 

pale white

on the front porch. 

she is shivering,

i try to help her up, 

but her face becomes mutated

with a long mortifying

yell. 

  the pictures dont make sense no more

when i see them -- rarely. 

i see eyes that dont belong to 

her

i see lips that dont fit 

i see cheeks that just

aint hers.

Girl i know, woman I know

is dead and scarred

she's ragged and deranged

she's whipped and mutilated---

Girl i know has sunken 

eyes

and weird lips

a rotten scowl

a mean snare ....

I see her in a door swinging it open

screaming her head off

until her throat veins pop

and her eyes fill with blood...

i see children gagging her,

her own children.

on beds they jump on top of her,

kicking her in her face,

laughing as they do it.  

they push her into walls,

throw her down a flight

of stairs. 

i see them attacking her

pulling at her

sinking her down beneath the 

waves of the mighty Atlantic--- 

she tries comig up for air,

desperate,

but she can't.

"What did i do ? What did i do?"

she is so desperate---

and where are her Men?

where are the fathers of the children?

Theyre murderers out on the highway

roaming dogs in heat 

wolves locked in grey metal cages..

Imprisoned. 

The children tie an anchor to her leg

they sink her

with glee.

LOok how they sink her!

LOok how they sing nursery rhymes  as she sinks!

Look look! 

She's like a dead whale

going under,

going

deep. 

And aren't we all having us some whisky

and making a toast

aren't we all fucking laughing?

Goodbye Maria goodbye Maria

Adios

Goodbye.
