siren

Sing sweetly.

Peek-a-boo bits of flesh.

Be salty and wet. Be generous and warm. Purr.

The queen of the hive takes to the sky and lures lover after lover

to his death. when she is full

Up

with a bulging pregnant middle, she comes home

To be slave to fertility.

We cry for the men who are lost to this drama

Who weeps for Jezebel?

Who fathoms the suffering of Salome?

All rub against ecstasy during the dance

All face pain in the wake
