She Awoke from the fable to mourning
church bells ringing her madly from sleep
tolled by a priest, self-castrated and hung
like a crimson bat 'neath the bellfry
the biblical prattled their mantras
and hexes six-tripled their fees
but Elizabeth laughed, thirteen Autumns had passed
and she was a widow from god and his wrath finally.
