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

Hippolytus and Phaedra In Declining Orbits
Hippolytus and Phaedra, a Euripides sad story
Phaedra wants sex with Hippolytus, (her step-son)
She tries every trick in the book for her own glory
Hippolytus, illegitimate son of Theseus, (king of Athens)
Phaedra, his wife was not very nice
Theseus wants his son dead for what he tried to do
Hippolytus, (sworn to chastity) plus, he wants men
Unjustly charged for compromising Phaedra
Banished by his dad
Died slowly from injuries brought on
In a bad decision
Incurred by a chariot collision
Phaedra orbits in another world, from another planet
She hanged herself, which brought attempted incest to an end
Hippolytus travels in his own universe, he too is dead
