Short skirts wave in a winter wind, breezy attributes
revealing fishnet thighs calling to the next...

The building set in the thick forest by a shimmering lake,
some broken sheds looking sad and strange to take.

A woman devoted to saints
Of Easter candles and Mass incense
Praised the Lord
Because she had a body
Worthy of merit

-My daughter, what's wrong with you?
-A fever,...
