BELLADONNA

who is it wants me
who makes the animal noise
who walks barefoot
while Im sleepless
those bare feet
so small and delicate
that stick to the linoleum
while
all the while
deaths making noise
like wings flapping

Belladonna

Im helpless
my hands are tied before you
the raven tonight

black wingspread
the devils airplane
come land on me

raven crashing
raven tearing
belladonna
more than life-size
you
like an angel of Poe
you
like his hallucinated pilot
but you
the devil tonight
what makes you want me

belladonna

sending sounds
that come and go
a lady laughing
a lady moaning
a lady naked in her bathrobe
do you want me
to want her

belladonna

raven more than life-size
raven the devil tonight
if you want me
come and eat me
eat me
come and eat me
