Bones in Her Nose

I love her
She�s got bones in her nose, that fiery woman
With her curled hair like sugar cane and her
Blue eyes like Novacaine
Shooting lightning at the sun from her Wonder Woman gun.
Her hide isn�t tender, her fingers aren�t pretty
They�ve been working too hard in rape-created waste
So long that the hurt is all she can taste
Making bitter juice between her teeth, making her hard against the grief.
That�s not to say her icy eyes don�t shed tears
But she laughs as she does it, grooves as she shoves it
Screams as she loves it, and weeps the wounds away.
From a superficial day
She takes meaning.
And in her haste to lay to waste all pain that patriarchy brought
She makes men wriggle, squirm and squiggle
Mumble, jitter, dance and cough
Man-hater, feminazi, skanky-ass lesbian
She wears these titles like a loose snake�s skin
And sheds them as each day begins.
She�s got bones in her nose, that woman of power
Don�t squeeze her too hard, or she�ll crackle and pop
Yeah, those bones dissolve with a solitary drop
In a wicked millisecond a loving man who beckons
Brings her to her knees in a puddle
And makes her wonder
Is it right that it all can be good
For just one night?
