verse :

Fm
with quill and silver knife
A#m
she carved a poison pen
Fm
wrote to her lover’s wife :
C Fm
“your husband’s seed has fed my flesh” .

as if a leper’s face
that tainted letter graced
the wife with choke – stone throat
ran to the day with tear – blind eyes .

variations on Fm

verse :

impaled on nails of ice
and raked with emerald fire
the wife with soul of snow
with steady hands begins to write :

“i’m still , i need no life
to serve on boys and men
what’s mine was yours is dead
i take my leave of mortal flesh”
