Enter Judith Phaedra

Enter Judith Phaedra with her Tarot reading doll She stepped out of the canvas with a bleeding southern drawl Shell-shocked rats in alleys scamper, looking for the nest To escape the anesthetic of her opiate laced breast She walks on crooked leg bones from the foothills to the shore I've oft times heard her scratching at my window or my door With her fingers long and twisted, corset of stained lace She roams my empty hallways in search of my embrace Return Judith Phaedra with your tarot reading doll To that bleak and lonely canvas, draped beneath a violet shawl Let your long and twisted fingers rest in oil in your frame And no more roam my hallways from the nightmare which you came
