Gasp Fair Harlot!

She's grown fond
of the void lulling around her exoskeleton

She's brought horror to
diligent obtuse slaves

The quiver in her giggle 
heeds her cerebellum celebration for the rats that claw at the flesh walls

Jokes on the vermin, jokes on everyone
germ spreader dictates a varied vacation from the norm
the wicked only wither at the hint of a storm

It's in their genes
in between
and all part of "the scene"
a hellish landscape comprised of wooden dolls cradled by gelatin snakes
It's about to forsake the world

She's about to regurgitate the stars over absent bowel syndrome

She's loved and out
sprained by clout
itched severed love cloth
begging for a spout

Brave ones be near her
Sing the strings of cellos wrapped at her ankles
Bring the sins of her meta-skeleton 

Drag her through the snow
freeze everything she knows
