Razors In Their Gloves


"Razors in their Gloves" 

Keep thy enemies close
befriend the smiling banshees
holding their cowboy guns

such beings in love with love
all’s fair in love and war
dripping honeyed lines

for greenants to walk along

truth be known they’ll be 
back in the ring 
before too long 

kissing windy cheeks
shaking hands 
with razors in their gloves
