she wants his head on a platter
poisoned with anger
arsenic lover kiss
pregnant in fury
a blood moon
feeding the lunatics
a wrath, a revenge
cloaked in Medea's murders
devotion, obsession
a st Cecilia's martyrdom
to her god
Salome, to her sins
she dances
selling soul
empty with love
wanting, needing
a voodoo ghost
in living flesh
she dances for a silver platter
she dances for her lover's eyes
praying for a death
praying for a mercy
she wants his head on a platter
Salome is not one to be ignored
