Shee Breathes Wild

Shee breathes wild
your desert child
cold and uncut
raw and untamed
tho shee be maimed

inflamed and falsely blamed
misnamed
and ill-famed
yet somehow righteously
still self-proclaimed
forever unashamed

unabashed
this lass...
who was
gassed, whiplashed, and trashed

a desert cache
that backlash
of mountain ash
that well rehearsed
heat rash

that ain't never going away
your lil blue-jay

shee is that downplayed doomsday
standing in your goddamn doorway

that forever cliche
crowning clowns
in their ever-rancid
circlets of decay

that dragon
you forever feared
would enter this foray
come for a lil horseplay

that gourmet repay

served up like a goddamn g'day souffle
from hell

that southern bell
fairy blood
turned into a potent inkwell
to cast this spell

that long
and ever-lasting
farewell

call it your own personal
Banshee knell.
