call Me mean, call me Evil
- I'm gonna take good care of Janis
and I split the atom
in my mouth
bit into Eve's apple, core'n'all
I've often been known to go Off
like a Big Bang,
bass drums play
percussion along my ribs
sucked this lemon-rind bare
of meat
Oh! God, tell me
what's it like Angeline?
to get down on your knees and beg
for the slice and ice
off the rim-shot glass
My muse laughed in my face
told me; you're an utter disgrace
bitchslapped my shameless arse
as she read me like a dirty magazine
flicked the pages over and over
sucked her teeth
tapped her feet
with a softer rhythm
on the floorboards
naked and filled
with sound
She said,
woman; you Love
with all you Got
see more than others
have often done,
said or even Forgot
- She's a Lady
Adding your comment:
Great tribute to one of the most raw, real, radiant souls that ever carried a tune. May she ever rest in peace. Grand penning, Lady.
