SHE LINGERS

 








She lingers...

In nifty corners,

In plantations,

In corporations.


A thief in the night

Awake in daylight's shadows,

With a despicable plight.


Patiently,

She lingers...

Ready to pounce 

On those who linger;

Their backs turned,

Facing the trigger.


Blow your whistles oh, laymen.

Don't cast your feet upon the linen path!

For there,

She waits...


She prays:

"Piece by piece

Limb from limb

Soul, from spirit"


She lingers...

The moon, alight,

The day, scorching bright.

Swaying her hips,

Licking her lips:

"Oh, the time to devour is nigh!"
